iPhone Launches on Five New Regional Carriers

If you’re a customer of a regional cell phone carrier and would would like to be able to get an iPhone, today just might be your lucky day.

Apple’s hit mobile device has launched on a slew of new carriers:

Alaska Communications serving you guessed it, Alaska

GCI also tending to the largest state in the union

Appalachian Wireless serving the mountain regions of Kentucky and Virginia

Cellcom which caters to Northern Wisconsin and part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

nTelos for wireless customers in the Commonwealth of Virginia

For the standard 2 year commitment, all five carriers offer the iPhones at a $50 discount compared to the major carriers: $49 for the 8GB iPhone 4, $149 for the 16GB 4S, and $249 and $349 respectively for the 32/64GB versions.

For Alaskans, it gets a bit more interesting. Alaska Communications also offers a 3yr contract for which the iPhone 4, and 16/32GB 4S models are no cost to the customer with the 64GB version at just $100. GCI becomes the first non-AT&T carrier to offer the iPhone on a GSM network and in addition to the 4 and 4S at the above prices, will be offering the 3GS for free with 2yr contract.
