Cellcom is yet another wireless carrier in the United States which has made the new Apple iPhone 5 handset available for purchase on its network, with support for fast 3G connectivity.

Plans for the handset were officially unveiled on Thursday, when the wireless carrier announced a $149 price tag for the 16GB model.

The company will add Apple’s 32GB flavor of the new device to its offering as well, at $249, along with the 64GB variant, which will go for $349.
