It's starting to sound like a broken record, and for American carriers, that's a good thing: there are plenty of new subscribers hopping on board, and they're doing more mobile browsing than ever before. T-Mobile added about 668,000 net subscribers in the second quarter -- down from nearly a million in the first, but hey, net new subs are a good thing any way you look at it. Those adds now put T-Mobile at about 31.5 million customers in total, a distant fourth behind AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint (less than half of either AT&T's or Verizon's base, in fact). As number one and number two both reported, there's been a huge jump in data revenue year over year -- 31.5 percent, to be exact, with much of the cash flowing from messaging services. Feeling a little left out of the new subscriber party here, Sprint?
man forget tmobile! they suck, no 3G in a lot of areas and they dont even have good phones to support 3G, im leaving tmobile this sat when i sign up for the iphone with att.
Bye! Dont let the door hit you on the way out!
Say "Hi" to the NSA for me!
Now if T-Mobile and Sprint would merge and combine their strengths, they would be a formitable third carrier. T-Mobile = Customer service and Sprint = Coverage, data and cost.
wouldn't happen. tmo is gsm, spring is cdma/iden
the result is fine, esp under some bad situations
just wonder Q3 and Q4, while more and more 3G markets rollout aggressively
Not bad considering the lame 3G phones that are currently in Tmobiles lineup. Now if I wanted to leave TMO, it certainly wouldn't be for that overated, overhyped POS they call the Iphone.
