DALLAS—AT&T Inc. has become the first U.S. carrier to make Yahoo Inc.'s search engine the default on its cell phones, the companies said Monday.

Yahoo's oneSearch replaces a search function from privately held Motricity Inc. on AT&T's MEdia Net cell phone portal, which is used on most of its Web-enabled phones, but not the iPhone.

Yahoo will also be providing the advertising that appears along with search results.

The companies first announced a partnership in January.

Yahoo already has 60 partnerships with overseas carriers to feature oneSearch. For example, it is the exclusive mobile search provider in Europe for T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom AG's mobile arm.

(This version corrects that Yahoo replaces Motricity, not InfoSpace.)
