"Sprint has today confirmed that it will be offering its iPhone users unlimited 3G data and a 5GB cap on hotspot data, reports Phone Scoop.\u00A0Customers looking to purchase the iPhone 4S will have more choices of carrier than ever this time around as the news device is arriving on Sprint as well as Verizon and AT&amp;amp;amp;T.\r\n\r\nSprint spokesperson Michelle Leff Mermelstein told All Things D that &amp;quot;we will be offering the benefit of our unlimited plans that start at just $69.99,\u201D which includes unlimited data and 450 voice minutes as well as unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. If you want unlimited calling as well it jumps to $99 a month.\r\n\r\nWhen quizzed if the network would be able to take the strain of thousands of iPhone users, Mermelstein said, \u201Cwe have every confidence in the ability of our 3G network to handle the influx of devices we expect to get. it certainly hasn't been an issue to date.\u201D\r\n\r\nThis parity among three major networks in the US makes it more important than ever for each carrier to find a distinguishing characteristic to draw customers toward it that may have purchased the device on one of its competitors. As Sascha Segan\u00A0puts it, Sprint is Unlimited, Verizon is Reliable and AT&amp;amp;amp;T is Fast.\r\n\r\nApple officially announced that Sprint would become an iPhone carrier at its event yesterday.\u00A0The carrier will be getting the iPhone 4S at the standard prices with contract:\r\n\r\n\tiPhone 4S 16GB $199\r\n\tiPhone 4S 32GB $299\r\n\tiPhone 4S 64GB $399\r\n\r\nPre-orders begin October 7th for the iPhone 4S, for an October 14th release, but currently Apple\u2019s home page says \u201CSprint coming soon\u201D so we\u2019re not sure when exactly it will be available."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
