C Spire also joins Sprint in offering unlimited messaging and data services with each iPhone 4S plan in its portfolio, though unlimited data on its two base plans excludes streaming. “As a carrier dedicated to delivering the best personalized wireless experience, we’re proud to offer the amazing new iPhone 4S to our customers,” said C Spire CEO Hu Meena in a statement. “iPhone 4S offers an abundance of new features, and with our Choice Infinite data plans customers can enjoy all of them on our network without having to think about their next bill.” C Spire will also carry Apple’s iPhone 4 for $99 on contract.
