Global MVNO to Carry iPhone 6, 6 Plus

The MVNO Truphone has announced that it will offer the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on Sept. 26. While I am certain that all of the major MVNOs will carry the iPhone 6 eventually, Truphone’s announcement today is the first MVNO to confirm that they willl carry the new Apple product. While a price was not listed on the press release Truphone sent out, the Apple website does list off-contract quotes and they are pretty ridiculous. However, I would be surprised if the sticker was any lower for an MVNO. For an unlocked, off-contract iPhone 6, the estimated price is $649 – $849 while the iPhone Plus ranged from $749 – $949 depending on how much storage you wanted. Yikes. Truphone is a global MVNO that is headquartered in London that sells international SIM cards which are capable of storing multiple numbers, allowing for cheaper rates. Pay-as-you-go minutes are roughly $0.09 per minute, text and MB in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Spain. Truphone works on the GSM network. They also offer WiFi calling and business functions like call recording. Check out their site for more information on SIMs and rates.  ]]>
