Until a few minutes ago, most of us had barely heard of C Spire Wireless, even by its previous name of Cellular South. Regardless, the wireless provider with only about a million customers announced today that it is now taking orders for the iPhone 4S.

If true, this would mean that the nation’s eighth-largest wireless provider would be getting the iPhone before much bigger players like T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular.

Heck, Sprint finally got the iPhone only after committing to purchasing a reported 30 million of them over the next four years.
