Deutsche Telekom merged its T-Mobile USA unit with prepaid specialist MetroPCS in 2013, creating T-Mobile US. Following the merger, the firm provided nationwide service in major markets but spottier coverage elsewhere. T-Mobile spent aggressively on low-frequency spectrum, well suited to broad coverage, and has substantially expanded its geographic footprint. This expansion, coupled with aggressive marketing and innovative offerings, produced rapid customer growth. With the Sprint acquisition, the firm's scale now roughly matches its larger rivals: T-Mobile now serves 68 million postpaid and 21 million prepaid phone customers, equal to nearly 30% of the U.S. retail wireless market. In addition, the firm provides wholesale service to resellers.

“We also are very excited about the launch of our unprecedented unlimited international calling plan introduced late in the second quarter. This service is another example of MetroPCS’ commitment to providing industry-leading value to consumers. Most recently, we expanded our leadership position in providing affordable, and valuable unlimited wireless service with the evolution of our rate plans. While challenging economic conditions persist, we continue to invest in differentiation and we are bullish on the growth opportunity within pay-in-advance unlimited wireless. With 36% subscriber growth over the past year, we are confident our growth will continue. As a result, we have today reaffirmed our full year 2009 guidance,” Linquist concluded.
