Manx Telecom will be first to offer the new iPhone 5 in the Isle of Man and is expecting huge demand for Apple’s latest version of the iconic smartphone. Customers will be able to pre-order their device through the Manx Telecom website from 9am on 14th September as well as continue to provide an expression of interest in-store should they so wish. The iPhone 5 will be available free subject to the contract taken.

David Smith, Manx Telecom Marketing Director, said:

“The new iPhone 5 looks amazing and we’re delighted that we can now start to take pre-orders. We expect Apple will start shipping the new iPhone 5 in late September and we guarantee that those customers who place their pre-order with us, will be the first to receive their new handset on the day they come into stock.
