Mobile subscribers at three more regional carriers will soon be able to pick up the latest iPhones.
Kentucky's Bluegrass Cellular, California's Golden State Cellular, and Kansas' Nex-Tech Wireless are next on the regional list to carry Apple's iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.
Among the three carriers, Bluegrass Cellular and Nex-Tech Wireless spilled the most beans. Both confirmed on their Web sites that on May 18 each would start offering its customers all three models of the iPhone 4S, and at prices $50 less than those charged by the three nationwide carriers.
The 16GB version will sell for $149.99, the 32GB for $249.99, and the 64GB for $349.99, all with the usual two-year contract. Both carriers will also offer the iPhone 4 for $49.99.
As futher incentive, Nex-Tech Wireless subscribers will get unlimited data and messaging as part of the package. Bluegrass Cellular users will also receive unlimited messaging but will be restricted to 3GB of data each month.
"Bluegrass Cellular is pleased to offer iPhone 4S to our customers throughout the Bluegrass service area nationwide," Bluegrass Cellular president and CEO Ron Smith said in a statement. "We will give iPhone customers unparalleled service as they experience this amazing device and its unique features and applications on our network, wherever they go.
Golden State Cellular was mum about the iPhone on its Web site, but the carrier is offering thesame models and prices and targeting the same launch date as the other two, according to AppleInsider.
All three join five other regional carriers who launched the new iPhone last month. Such carriers typically provide better prices and plans to their local subscribers than what Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint offer their customers.
