C Spire Launches iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular on Its 4G LTE Network

Wireless carrier also says iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular is coming soon

RIDGELAND, Miss.--()--C Spire today announced that iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular is now available on its 4G LTE network. Also, iPad mini with Retina display with Wi-Fi + Cellular will be available from C Spire later this month.

C Spire will offer both new iPads with a range of attractive data plans that will allow customers to connect to its next-generation 4G LTE network with speeds up to 10 times faster than previously available.

“Tablets continue to grow in popularity as consumers find tremendous value and utility for these devices,” said Jim Richmond, vice president of Corporate Communications for C Spire, noting that tablet ownership among U.S. adults has doubled in the last year to 34 percent. “C Spire customers will be able to experience all the iPad has to offer on our fast and reliable 4G LTE network.”

iPad Air features a stunning 9.7-inch Retina display in a new thinner and lighter design. Precision-engineered to weigh just one pound, iPad Air is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth generation iPad, and with a narrower bezel the borders of iPad Air are dramatically thinner—making content even more immersive. The new iPads feature the powerful and power-efficient Apple-designed A7 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, ultrafast wireless with faster built-in Wi-Fi and expanded LTE cellular connectivity, and the newly-designed iOS 7 featuring hundreds of great new features.

C Spire customers can add a tablet for $10 a month to a shared data tablet plan. The company also offers a range of data access plans starting at $5 a month for 100 MB of data and optional data passes.

The iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular is available at all C Spire retail stores, online at www.cspire.com/ipadair and through its Consumer Telesales group at 1.855.CSPIRE4.
