T-Mobile Now Sells iPhone 5 With No Contract

T-Mobile USA on Friday started selling the iPhone 5 smartphone on its mobile network for $99 down or no money down payment plans, according to a new report.

T-Mobile was apparently very happy with the sales of iPhone 5 during its first day of selling the device, according to another report from AllThingsD.

In fact, T-Mobile Chief Marketing Officer Mike Sievert told AllThingsD "Today has been gangbusters for T-Mobile. We experienced lines out the door this morning at nearly all of our almost 3,000 stores nationwide. Clearly they want the iPhone 5, and they are voting with their feet that they want it from T-Mobile."

It’s interesting to note that T-Mobile was the last big wireless carrier to sell the iPhone 5 from Apple, as other major carriers have already done it, including AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. Even smaller prepaid carriers like Cricket and Virgin Mobile USA had joined the bandwagon before T-Mobile.

Meanwhile, I’ve also reported here on Technorati that retail giant Walmart has partnered with Straight Talk Wireless and also offer the iPhone with no contract for $45 per month. You may also want to check out and compare T-Mobile’s new iPhone 5 plan with that of Walmart’s iPhone plan here.

Are consumers going to see more affordable iPhone wireless mobile plans and more affordable Apple products in the very near future? I guess we all just have to wait and see.
