On Oct 19, C-Spire announced that it would get the iPhone 4S, although at the time, they did not talk about the availability date. In fact, this was one of the shortest press released that I’ve seen since we created Ubergizmo. Now, we know: on November 11, C-Spire is set to offer the cheapest unlimited* data, messaging and minutes plan for the iPhone 4S (*read the fine prints before subscribing).
As for the pricing of the iPhone 4S itself, it is not different from what you can find with other carriers (Apple obviously controls that). If you are a huge consumer of data, this may be your best bet yet, at least without breaking the bank. I don’t really know what their coverage looks like though, so you’ll have some homework to do, but so far, what do you think? [iPhone on C-spire]
