Virgin Mobile, the Sprint Nextel (S)-owned company said it would start selling Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S smartphones on June 29 to prepaid customers, without subsidizing the retail cost of the devices.
The move follows Apple's recent announcement that it would allow prepaid iPhone sales. With Virgin Mobile's offering, Sprint becomes the 1st wireless firm to sell iPhones in both prepaid and contract markets. Leap Wireless (LEAP) last week also said it will offer prepaid iPhones. Sprint shares were little changed.
Another smartphones that’s reportedly going to be released by Virgin this month is the HTC One V. This runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and will be way cheaper than the iPhone: just $200.
