Following a previous report that regional carrier C-Spire wireless would begin offering the iPhone 4S, the carrier has now officially announced that they will begin offering the iPhone 4S, as well as the iPhone 4, on November 11th.
iPhone 4S will be available starting at $199.99 for the 16GB model, $299.99 for the 32GB model and $399.99 for the 64GB model with a new two-year contract and data plan. In addition, the iPhone 4 8GB model is available for $99.99, also with a new two-year contract and data plan. iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 will be available at C Spire Wireless retail stores, online at www.cspire.com/iPhone and through the Telesales group at 1-855-CSPIRE4. C Spire customers can pre-register for iPhone beginning today at www.cspire.com/iPhone.
C-Spire aims to compete with Verizon, Sprint & AT&T in its region by offering less expensive voice and data plans, including a $50 unlimited data plan with 500 minutes of talk that excludes the streaming of videos from services such as Netflix.
C-Spire becomes the fourth U.S. carrier to offer the iPhone, with T-Mobile notably excluded from the list of Apple carrier partners.
