iPhone 4S is to be made available to small US carrier C Spire

Not many people have heard of the name C Spire or formerly known as Cellular South. A lot of people aren’t aware simply because this is a regional carrier that caters only to a small part of the US namely the Mississippi, Memphis Metropolitan Area, several areas of Alabama and a few other places. It is to no surprise that they have a low profile although the company has a customer base of roughly 900,000 in total.

So, what’s interesting about C Spire anyway? Well, the company is officially getting the iPhone 4S making it the smallest carrier that gets the device. C Spire is also the company in the United States that has the smallest 4G coverage although that would barely matter as they cater only to a handful of people. In addition to that, C Spire is running on CDMA network which would mean that the iPhone 4S that will be sold by C Spire would also be receiving CDMA signals.

This move by C Spire would definitely benefit it well as it is the carrier with the highest percentage of users running on smartphone. This would mean that the probability of its subscribers to get its iPhone deal is high and in return would provide reasonable income to the carrier in the long run as well.
