T-Mobile USA Inc. will begin selling the iPhone 5 for the first time on April 12, letting customers buy the Apple Inc. device via an installment plan aimed at challenging the industry’s typical long-term contracts.

Qualifying buyers can get the phone for $99.99 down, plus monthly payments of $20, T-Mobile said yesterday at an event in New York. Service for the phone starts at $50 per month for unlimited calls and 500 megabytes of data.
