T-Mobile will officially carry the iPhone 5 from the 12th of this month and you can now pre-order from both Apple and T-Mobile. This iPhone will be fully compatible with the company's fledgling LTE infrastructure.
T-Moble seem to be striking back with vengence as each and every one of the big three carriers in the US have offer the Apple iPhone as an option to consumers for quite some time. Unlike the major network operators, T-Mobile's deals aren't as committing and those who prefer not to be tied into a two year contract are going to love T-Mobile's flexible plans.
The T-Mobile iPhone 5 will go on sale for just $99, with no cellular service contract attached. The likes of AT&T have operated something of a monopoly in recent years but their days of twelve and eighteen month contracts could disappear overnight. T-Mobile is looking to put some power back into the hands of the consumer by offering on of the industry's most sought aftter handsets with no contract. This could see a lot of users migrate from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon.
The new LTE network is not quite there yet but the company is looking to make it as fast as it possibly can. With a cheaper bill and less of a contractual hold, we expect that many T-Mobile iPhone 5 users will be very happy with their new found freedom. Work of course will be ongoing to build a solid LTE network too.
Carrier updates for T-Mobile users on unlocked iPhone 5s will also begin rolling out today, bringing support for 4G networks. We can't wait to see how many people buy into T-Mobile's alternative offerings.
