AT&T has revealed it intends to stop offering the HTC First mobile due to sluggish sales of the smartphone.

According to BGR.com, AT&T has confirmed that the HTC First, which is the first smartphone to ship with Facebook Home pre-installed, will soon be discontinued and unsold inventory will be returned to HTC.

Earlier this year, Facebook introduced Home app, which would allow the social networking firm to sit on the home screen of Android powered phones.

AT&T reduced the price of HTC’s First to 99 cents just one month after its introduction and fewer than 15,000 devices were sold.

AT&T spokesman was quoted by BGR as saying that "as mentioned previously, we do pricing promotions all the time and have made no decisions on future plans."

In March this year, AT&T added Microsoft Lync to its unified communications portfolio, which allows its business customers to communicate through instant messaging, voice-over-Internet calling, and online meetings.
