Bad news for the millions of T-Mobile customers using their jailbroken iPhones on the fourth-largest American wireless network, though: the iPhone 4S is coming to a network you’ve probably never heard of.
Regional carrier C Spire Wireless, formerly known as Cellular South, announced today that it’ll start offering the iPhone 4S in the coming weeks.
C Spire Wireless announced today that it will launch iPhone 4S, the most amazing iPhone yet, in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

I know what you’re thinking: who? In truth, unless you live in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, George or Florida, you’ve probably never even heard of these guys before. They only have around 875,000 subscribers, and run a CDMA network, a la Verizon or Sprint.
Why not T-Mobile? Here’s the deal: all the CDMA networks roughly run on the same wireless bands, but T-Mobile, despite being a GSM carrier, works on a slightly fruity 3G/4G band. That would require Apple to build a whole new iPhone 4S just for T-Mobile USA, which they just aren’t going to do. Hence, why these no-name CDMA carriers are going to start getting the iPhone 4S before the most obvious big-boy.
