When Sprint signed the $20 Billion deal with Apple,most of them were under the impression that Sprint has just signed its own Death Warrant.The worst fears were confirmed when it was revealed that iPhone 4S will not be a Sprint Exclusive.But once the pre-sales were announced,iPhone 4S went on to become one of the fastest SmartPhone sales ever crossing the 1 Million mark on the very first date.Now with the users finally receiving their coveted hardware,Sprint has announced that it broken its sales record with the Apple merchandise & is considered as the best sale day ever for the Carrier.
“Sprint today reported its best ever day of sales in retail, web and telesales for a device family in Sprint history with the launch of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4,” Sprint product chief Fared Adib said in a statement. “The response to this device by current and new customers has surpassed our expectations and validates our customers’ desire for a truly unlimited data pricing plan.”
Sprint is probably the only carrier to feature the unlimited data plans for the iPhone 4S,which also played a fundamental role in achieving a new apogee in sales.
Update:Verizon & AT &T make public announcements regarding the sale s & claim Records Sales individually too.
According to Verizon representative:
“Stores nationwide are reporting steady traffic as early-morning shoppers make purchases before heading to work,” said Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney. “We are seeing a nice mix of people who are first-time smartphone purchasers as well as those who are switching from competitors.”
According to AT &T:
“As of 4:30 pm ET today, AT&T had already activated a record number of iPhones on our network -– and is on-track to double our previous record for activations on a single day.”
With 3 of its major Carriers claiming record sales,lets wait for the real statistics & declare the winner subsequently.
