For all those who have missed the chance to pre-order for Apple's iPhone X on Oct. 27, there would be other carriers that would gladly bring the gadget to customers starting Nov. 10.

Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile USA had recently announced that the iPhone X, known to have the Face ID, would be available to the market. "It's just one more way Boost Mobile delivers the best value, service and customer experience in prepaid wireless, especially now with taxes and fees included on all plans," Boost Mobile CEO Angela Rittgers said in a statement.

Customers can start ordering iPhone X from Boost Mobile's website starting on Nov. 10, Friday. Reports say that the shipping would begin around the 17th.

Those who would want an assurance of a stock of the gadget may opt to pre-order from Virgin Mobile starting Nov. 3 at the carrier's website. Stocks will be shipped on Nov. 10 as well. The company's CEO, Dow Draper, also said that the Inner Circle program, which would include the iPhone X, would enable consumers to enjoy "unlimited talk, text and high-speed data for only $50 per month on our nationwide network."

As mentioned, major carriers had already opened pre-ordering for iPhone X on Nov. 3. Some of these are Verizon and AT&T, though it was highly expected that the stocks had already been sold out just minutes after the launch of the pre-ordering. 

Prices had not yet been disclosed by both companies. But, the smartphone is priced at $999 for the 64-gigabyte (GB) variant and $1,149 for the 256 GB version, so the prices by Boost and Virgin will likely be around the same amount.

iPhone X boasts of an all-screen design, with a 5.8 inch full Super Retina display. It is an all-glass design as well and is dust and water resistant. It is also remarkable for its Face ID feature, which will allow users to unlock their phones using their face instead of a password.
