T-Mobile shows big customer gains, promises more
T-Mobile reported significant increases in the number of new mobile and fixed wireless customers in its third quarter report and said it expects to maintain that momentum throughout the rest of the year.
The operator reported 1.6 million postpaid net customer additions, which it said was more than the number AT&T and Verizon reported in the period, combined. In terms of postpaid phone net customer additions, T-Mobile said it added 854,000 – a figure far above the number Verizon reported and also slightly above the number AT&T reported in the third quarter.
T-Mobile officials pointed to the operator’s speedy 5G network as one reason for its progress in the market. Indeed, T-Mobile said its 2.5GHz midband 5G network now covers 250 million people.
Company officials also said the operator’s network integration project – stemming from its acquisition of Sprint in 2020 – is largely finished.
In its fixed wireless access (FWA) business, T-Mobile reported a total of 578,000 new customers. That figure includes around 90,000 prepaid customers and is roughly on par with what the company reported in the second quarter.
