14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re planning to shop iPhone 4S, you’d better review your options because each supported carrier (at least in the United States) has at least one attractive plan to sell to you.
Sprint recently announced plans to sell Apple’s new iPhone with an unlimited data plan. There’s a price to pay for that, and the price is a big price tag.
Now, AT&T has some sweet offers too. They're not much cheaper than Sprint’s, but they sound attractive.
The DataPlus plan offers 200MB for iPhone $15/month, which includes web surfing, email, and social networking.
A DataPro contract selling for $25/month offers 2GB of data for downloading and streaming music, watching videos, and using high-bandwidth apps.
Finally, you have the DataPro 4G plan which, as its name implies, comes with a 4GB data cap for iPhone customers and allows Internet tethering for $45 a month.
With those 4GB, you can: “share your iPhone Internet connection with your laptop, netbook, or other device; download or stream music; watch videos; and use high bandwidth applications,” according to America’s #1 provider of wireless telecommunication services.
Apple today included a selector tool on its web store to allow early iPhone 4S adopters to pre-order their own handset and select the carrier they wish to go with.
In the States, their three options are AT&T (GSM), Verizon (CDMA) and Sprint (CDMA). However, unlike with the iPhone 4, customers don’t get a different iPhone model this time around.
The iPhone 4S is a world phone which allows any model to roam free on any carrier’s network.
Which is why Apple is also selling the iPhone 4S unlocked starting next month. The price is much higher of course, but you do get to take your phone home and never worry about iTunes asking you to tell it which carrier you’re on.
