Sprint will offer the
iPhone 5 in mid-October and will bundle it with an
unlimited data plan,
Bloomberg reported on Friday. The carrier hopes its unlimited data plan offering will attract customers away from AT&T and
Verizon Wireless, which both cap iPhone data
packages.
Sprint currently offers all-you-can eat data and voice plans and its
Everything Data plan starts out at $69.99 per month with 450 peak
minutes. “The advantage of unlimited is, it's cheaper for the big users,” Bank of
Montreal analyst Peter Rhamey explained to
Bloomberg, noting that unlimited plans are attractive because “people don't like bill shock.”
Bloomberg's report is on a par with a recent
Wall Street Journal article that also suggested Sprint will begin selling the iPhone 5 in October. In addition, BGR exclusively reported that
Best Buy is anticipating selling a Sprint-branded
iPhone 5 and that pre-orders should begin soon.
