In a very rare deal in local circles, cell phone giants, Alcatel and Orange Botswana have teamed up with pop star Vee to release 2000 units of Vee branded Alcatel cell phones.

The cell phone promotion carries the colours of rejuvenated Vee, who now goes by a military tag, Lietenant General Vee. The cell phone is military green and also has a Vee screen saver, and is loaded with ring tones from Vee's previous music albums. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that the cell phones, which go for P249, come out with an exclusive Vee CD, by the title of Party Animals. The CD cannot be bought from any music shop, or heard on any Radio Station because it comes as part of the Vee pack package.

In an interview with Showbiz Vee said his new six tracks CD is very special. "They are limited copies, and their availability is tied to the cell phone, which means for my fans to have a taste of the album, they must get the Orange Alcatel phone", said Vee who added that the Alcatel cell phone is stuffed with more musical works associated with him.
As part of the Alcatel and Orange deal, Vee is currently on a countrywide tour promoting the Vee Pack, where songs from the Party Animals are being belted out.
