Virgin Mobile USA announced on Thursday that it will offer Apple'siPhone 4S and iPhone 4 beginning Friday, June 29, withcontract-free plans as low as $30 per month. Customers will be able to purchase the 16-gigabyte iPhone 4S for$649, matching the price of a contract-free handset purchasedthrough the Apple Store or AT&T. That's different from regionalwireless carrier Leap, which announced late last month that itwould sell a 16-gigabyte iPhone 4S for $500 , meaning the carrier is subsidizing the price by about $150. While customers who buy the iPhone through Virgin Mobile USA willpay a higher upfront premium, they could also see considerablesavings on their plans. The carrier offers customers a $5-per-monthdiscount when they register for automatic monthly payments, whichresults in a basic plan with "unlimited" data and text messagingand 300 voice minutes for $30. Users can upgrade to 1,200 voice minutes for $40 per month, orobtain unlimited minutes for $50 per month. Though data isadvertised as "unlimited," all plans include 2.5 gigabytes permonth of full-speed data, and any overages can be throttled. Virgin Mobile USA will also offer Apple's previous-generationiPhone 4 for $549 in the 8 gigabyte capacity. The contract-freephones will be available at Virgin Mobile's website, RadioShack,Best Buy, and select local retailers. "This month marks Virgin Mobile USA tenth birthday," said SirRichard Branson, founder of Virgin Group. "And what better way tothank our fans for ten years of loyalty than by giving them exactlywhat they want: the perfect plan for the perfect phone. That is theessence of 'A Higher Calling.'" Word first surfaced on Tuesday that Virgin Mobile USA would become the second American carrier tooffer Apple's iPhone without a service contract. However, thelaunch date and exact pricing were not known until the officialannouncement was made Thursday by Virgin Mobile. Virgin's voice and data service relies on Sprint's "NationwideNetwork." The sale of iPhones through Sprint's Virgin mobile couldgo toward the $15.5 billion in iPhones sprint had pledged to sell over a four-year span in adeal with Apple.
