Yes tell that truth bring it out.You're so right about this company.I had a very disturbing act from one of the Barstow California T mobile stores by Manager Cesar.He was racist and had no problem of showing it.When i called the T mobile 800 number i was told that they can't control racism.But what i know what they can control is who they hire and what is their background.So what happens next will shock you.So i called the BBB and they had T mobile call me.And i was told by Martin Gonzalez who said he was a Vice President and also told me the same as the first time calling that he can't control racism.So at the end of the call i asked him his name again and he said Martin Gonzalez who was at the beginning of the call the Vice President to at the end of the call he told me he was the CEO of T mobile.Smh!! Wow!! How such liars the biggest liars. Racist liars.These people are the biggest liars and very unprofessional.Telling me that they can't give me no discount nor a free phone nor compensation.Wow!!!
Tmobile makes false promise with customer and their representative on social media Twitter are also more hypothetical and harassing people I have really bad experience with them from Nov 2016 to until today continue
Interesting. My company in Hickory, NC region was called to do emergency service repair after their local area store was robbed, and it took us over a year of hell trying to get our funds owed.
T-Mobile goes thru a middleman facilities firm (AP Facilities Management, no longer answer their phones in NY) who then goes thru others who then contact the legit local contractors like us' and we got close to filing lawsuit ourselves... Then phone agreement from one vendor said they would send total check as long as we signed a doc saying we would never sue them- FK that! We cashed check that was due to our business, then never signed agreement and tire of major corps doing this to us smaller US contractors all the time...

T-Mobile US, Inc. (NYSE: TMUS) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2014 results reflecting a record year of growth. The Company delivered the best customer growth year in T-Mobile's history and outperformed the competition.
"2014 was the best year of growth in company history," said John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile. "Our Un-carrier moves helped us blow away the competition. The best is yet to come as the future looks bright in 2015."
Un-Carrier Delivering Results
Since launching Un-carrier(TM) in 2013, T-Mobile has transformed the wireless industry with innovations such as No Annual Service Contracts, equipment installment plans, the JUMP! (R) device upgrade program, free international data roaming, lifetime free data allowances for tablets, Contract Freedom(TM), T-Mobile Test Drive(TM), Music Freedom(TM), and Wi-Fi Un-leashed. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company again expanded the Un-carrier portfolio with: -- Un-carrier 8.0: Data Stash(TM): With Data Stash, T-Mobile became the first national wireless provider to allow customers to save and retain their unused data capacity. The high-speed data that a customer does not use each month is automatically rolled into a personal Data Stash and available for use for one year. In addition, every Data Stash comes with an initial allotment of up to 10 GB of free 4G LTE data for qualifying customers. The service, which was announced on December 16, 2014 and launched on January 1, 2015, is offered at no extra charge to every new and existing T-Mobile customer on an eligible postpaid Simple Choice plan who buys extra high-speed data for their tablet or smartphone.
Operational and Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2014
All comparisons for annual results in this release are based on pro forma combined results in 2013.
T-Mobile continues to deliver strong customer growth and ended the year with more than 55 million total customers. In the fourth quarter of 2014, T-Mobile added 2.1 million net customers, marking the seventh quarter in a row that the Company has generated more than one million net customer additions. For the full-year 2014, T-Mobile added 8.3 million net customers, an 89% increase from the prior year.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, branded postpaid net customer additions were 1.3 million, including more than 1.0 million phone net customer additions, the highest in the U.S. wireless industry once again, and 239,000 mobile broadband net customer additions. For the full-year 2014, total branded postpaid net customer additions were 4.9 million, consisting of more than 4.0 million phone net customer additions and 839,000 mobile broadband net customer additions.
T-Mobile's branded prepaid business led the industry with more than 1.2 million prepaid net customer additions in 2014, including 266,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Branded postpaid phone churn amounted to 1.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 10 basis points year-over-year and 9 basis points sequentially primarily due to increased competition and promotions in the marketplace.
As part of the ongoing movement toward simplifying the business, the Company continued to drive the penetration of Simple Choice plans within its customer base. The portion of branded postpaid customers on Simple Choice plans was 89% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, up from 84% at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
Consistent with industry trends, T-Mobile's customers continued to migrate to smartphones. Total smartphone sales, including sales to branded postpaid and prepaid customers, were a record 8.0 million units in the fourth quarter of 2014, or 93% of all phone units sold.
Branded postpaid Average Billings Per User (ABPU) was $61.80 in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 5.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, and the highest in the Company's history. Branded postpaid phone Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) decreased sequentially by 3.2% to $48.26, driven by dilution resulting from promotional activities, including the "4 for $100" offer and a reduction in certain regulatory surcharges. Branded prepaid ARPU increased by 4.7% year-over-year to $37.51.
T-Mobile is disclosing three new metrics to assist investors in evaluating its performance in the branded postpaid business: Average Revenue Per Account (ARPA), Average Billings Per Account (ABPA), and Customers Per Account. The Company considers branded postpaid ARPA and ABPA indicative of its revenue growth potential given the increase in the average number of branded postpaid phone customers and increased penetration of mobile broadband devices.
Branded postpaid ARPA was $109.87 in the fourth quarter of 2014, essentially flat year-over-year and sequentially, while branded postpaid ABPA amounted to $143.79 in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 12.9% year-over-year and 3.6% sequentially. The increase in ABPA was primarily due to growth in EIP billings as well as an increase in the number of customers per account.
In addition to strong customer growth, T-Mobile delivered outstanding financial results. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company again reported the fastest revenue growth in the industry for both service and total revenues. Service revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 grew by 13.6% year-over-year, which was an acceleration compared to the third quarter of 2014 when service revenues increased by 10.6% year-over-year. On a sequential basis, service revenues grew by 3.3%. The sequential and year-over-year increase in service revenues was primarily due to rapid growth in the Company's customer base, partially offset by lower branded postpaid phone ARPU. T-Mobile's total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 grew by 19.4% year-over-year due to very strong growth in equipment sales revenues, driven by record smartphone sales, and growth in service revenues. On a sequential basis, total revenues increased by 10.9%. Full-year 2014 service revenues increased by 9.0% year-over-year, and total revenues increased by 13.1% year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $1.751 billion, up 41.3% year-over-year and 30.1% sequentially. Sequentially and year-over-year, the increase was primarily due to higher branded postpaid and prepaid revenues from growth in the customer base as well as disciplined cost control. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was 30% for the fourth quarter of 2014, up from 24% in both the fourth quarter of 2013 and third quarter of 2014. For the full-year 2014, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $5.636 billion, up 6.0% year-over-year.
Network Expansion and Capital Expenditures
The Company's network expansion is continuing at an accelerated pace. T-Mobile's 4G LTE network -- America's Fastest -- covered 265 million people at the end of 2014, exceeding the original year-end target of 250 million. The Company is targeting coverage of 300 million people by year-end 2015. T-Mobile is rapidly deploying Wideband LTE, while at the same time rolling out 4G LTE on its 700 MHz A-Block and 1900 MHz PCS spectrum. At the end of 2014, Wideband LTE was available in 121 market areas and the goal is to expand the service to over 150 market areas by the end of 2015. Building on the A-Block spectrum acquisition from Verizon, the Company continues to expand its 700 MHz A-Block holdings, now reaching approximately 190 million POPs. The Company deployed 700 MHz A-Block spectrum in Cleveland, Colorado Springs, Minneapolis, and Washington DC in 2014, and has already added Houston and Dallas in 2015.
Dish is absolutely looking to acquire T-Mobile. Look at all of the spectrum that DISH owns and how well that would compliment Tmobile. DISH is a revolutionary company with many great things in store. I just bought $25k in t-mobile.
What happens when a growing company acquires more assets , the CEO (legere) stays in control and Sprint is forced to merge with TMUS or risk ending up like radioshack or best buy 2 years ago? Growth. Plain and simple. TMUS has been public for about 13 months, what do you think happens the moment a 3-5% dividend with all of the Tmobile and Sprint resources and money comes together? A healthy 40-50% gain in the (relative) short term IMO. Glty and all others here, but I see exponential growth going forward.
Looks like T-Mobile is trying to raise money for the upcoming auction of wireless spectrum. TMUS is dumping 66.15 million common shares. At least they are thinking long term and understand the importance of the spectrum. Let's hope they have the winning bid.
