T-Mobile - Nearly Bankrupt To World's Largest Telecom Company

Have Companies & The US Government Pay You!
app.silomarkets.com/launch
T-Mobile is likely the most classic cell phone provider of the early 2000s as virtually everyone is familiar with their iconic ringtone. But, with the introduction of smartphones and stronger competition within the cellular market, T-Mobile got crushed and quickly fell towards irrelevancy. In fact, things got so bad that they were basically going to get bailed out by AT&T in the early 2010s. But, suddenly their entire situation changed when they got a new CEO, John Legere. Instead of trying to hide the differences of T-Mobile, John decided to embrace them by making T-Mobile the uncarrier. For example, T-Mobile didn’t have a contract with Apple to offer their phones at reduced prices. So, T-Mobile simply offered iPhones at MSRP and embraced how they don’t have any strings attached or any hidden fees. Given that much of the population was fed up with the antics of AT&T and Verizon, many people gave T-Mobile a chance. Let’s just say T-Mobile used this olive branch to the absolute max. This video explains the rise, fall, and rise again of T-Mobile.

Dude the last CEO is what made T-Mobile what it is. Super sad to see him go.

[@iEDisPANDA]

John Legere. Great guy

[@the7311]

@Kelvis Nouel I sure hope so. I’ve been very happy with my phone plan for the last 8 years. I used to cringe when I heard people had T-Mobile back then. The only reason why I gave them a chance and switch was because of John. Don’t know much about the new CEO but I hope he keeps up John’s spirit. Edit: spelling

[@TheWallStreetBullshitter]

I specifically wanted to apply for a job at t mobile bc of him. I'm not as big a fan of the newer CEO bc John seemed to go REALLY far in bashing the other companies who acted stupid silent and smug about it. My channel, Twitter, Instagram, etc. is partially inspired by him and I coukd only dream of his endorcement.

I've been w/T-mobile since 2008. I bought the original iPhone & of course the only mobile service option was AT&T. After a year of their nickel & dime-ing shenanigans I did some research & discovered T-mobile also utilized GSM. Since I bought my phone outright from Apple it was unlocked. My researched revealed the phone should technically work on T-mobile's network if it was unlocked. There were many success stories of people doing so. So I went to a T-mobile store in Atlanta explained what I wanted to do. The staff were reluctant it would work but were willing try. They swapped out the AT&T SIM w/a T-mobile then powered up the iPhone. Sure enough it connected & began working. We were all surprised. I became a loyal T-mobile customer that day & never looked back. The service was not best originally; But it has improved exponentially since that time. T-mobile has the best customer service & I NEVER had any surprised charges. John Legere is a BOMB CEO!!!

[@nashvilleoutlaw]

@@thecwwshow8036 agreed, I made the mistake of trying T-mobile 4-5 years ago. Service was garbage and data was comically worse than Verizon almost everywhere I went in the US outside of big cities

[@Hans353]

I'm right there with you. I have had every service you can possibly have from the big players. From Cingular wireless, to metro piece of s. To verizon to ATT to tmobile. From my years of experience Verizon has the best reception when it comes to CALLS. But their service sucked here in Cali for Data. T Mobile does so much better in data, here in So Cal and I mean like all of socal. From Kern County all the way to San Diego T Mobile destroys Verizon when it comes to data. My thought is this. If you need reliable signal to call with a service that won't drop calls, get Verizon. For sure Verizon is the best for that. If you use data more and rely on the internet more T Mobile is a no Brainer. This is my though for SoCal only. Idk about anywhere else.

[@900Yugo]

A local SIM card is still not a bad choice. Eg. If one of my relatives want to visit the US a local SIM card would be less expensive than roaming on their Taiwanese SIM. Also,for longer stays it's a better choice because when a SIM card is roaming the time it takes to connect between the roaming and home provider has significant latency which can be much slower than local servers.

[@vullord666]

@@900Yugo a local sim is almost always better. Or at least some kinda of data hotspot.

Even after the "privatization" (when most of the shares were still held by the government) had state-enforced monpolies for quite some time, Deutsche Telekom had a complete monopoly for another 3 years and in some segments far longer, Deutsche Post lost their letter-carrying monopoly only in 2008. Today, the German state, directly and indirectly, still 30% of DT and 20% of DP. And both companies have massively profited off cheap companies in Eastern Europe that were sold massively under value in the years after 1998.

[@DigitalHalohalo]

The video didn't seem to mention that T-Mobile didn't walk away with nothing when the AT&T and T-Mobile merger failed. In fact, T-Mobile got a few billion and spectrum. The cash and, more importantly, the spectrum allowed T-Mobile to have a better network and have similar spectrum with AT&T to allow some previously AT&T-only compatible phones to work finally with T-Mobile which includes the AT&T iPhone 5 (iirc) which was then limited to 2G when used with T-Mobile. This is crucial as differences in frequency band support between AT&T and T-Mobile made it harder than usual to switch between the two (while retaining the same device) despite both being GSM-based networks.

[@lukechen526]

T-Mobile USA is the first in the world to use 600MHz spectrum. That alone is amazing.

[@CaffeineGeek]

T-Mobile had a terrible network because they were only on 1900mhz for the longest time. The legacy carriers AT&T and Verizon had 800/850mhz spectrum in addition to 1900mhz. The lower frequencies penetrate walls better allowing for better indoor reception. One of the big complaints about T-Mo's (and other PCS1900 carriers) is how terrible it was getting coverage indoors. To compound that, T-Mo also did not have a lot of 1900mhz spectrum leading to network congestion. Their purchase of Sprint was not so much to gain customers as it was to gain more spectrum ( 1900mhz, 2500mhz, and a bit of 850mhz) to expand capacity. Other carriers did the same. AT&T did not purchase Leap Wireless (marketed under the Cricket Wireless brand) for their customers but for their rights to radio spectrum. Heck, they actually hated picking up the customers as they would lower AT&T's ARPU (average revenue per user) metrics. In the years that followed, T-Mobile was very aggressive in acquiring more RF capacity as the US government allocated more spectrum for mobile networks. They picked up large blocks of 1700/2100mhz and 600mhz (from the shutdown of analog TV) in FCC auctions. T-Mobile even purchased blocks of 700mhz from Verizon.

Only thing missing was how the Sidekick model was the basis for the iPhone.. Consumer focused smartphone, one company creating hardware and software, no carrier intervention, and exclusivity to one carrier.. They even had the first appstore..

[@jcpenny3606]

Honestly, Apple has always been about exclusivity, proprietary, and to some degree, luxury. The Sidekick's main market were teenagers and young adults. It was rad, hip, cool, etc. It was a phone yes, but it also came with AOL AIM messenger (which was very popular back in the days), some games, a pretty weak web browser but for that time, it was acceptable, and the innovative flip out keyboard. The young people were attracted to AOL AIM and the thumb pressing keyboard. The original iPhone's main market were executives and professionals. For many, it was unaffordable. It cost a whopping $700 and required a 1 or 2 year contract with AT&T, plus a credit check was necessary. It was considered a luxury phone at the time. Once Samsung came out with the much cheaper Galaxy and Android OS, the smarphone market exploded, and Apple had to adjust and retarget the iPhone to the average consumer.

Right on point. Left AT&T 12 years ago.and love our t mobile

[@s3vR3x]

Also not mentioned is at&ts absolute disastrous launch of their gsm network in 2003, which is a business school case study on how not to do things, they weren’t always king

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

I switched to T-Mobile back around 2015 and haven't looked back since. I live in New Brunswick, NJ and here at home I get 208Mbps downloads on 5G. Of course, when my phone is connected through WiFi to my Verizon FiOS connection, I see download speeds of 373Mbps.

[@pcs9518]

I was originally a VoiceStream customer when they were bought out. Their customer service was awesome even after the switch. I never had the issues other did and I’ve been a customer ever since. I’ve been there so long there’s even a special note on my account when any reps pull up the account I’m always thanked at the beginning for being a long time valued customer. I can only say things have only gotten way better since the beginning.

[@Nocturnal11Guy]

So was I. I remember those days of throwing the phone around and forgetting about it. T-mobile eventually got better over the years. I'm glad I stuck with them.

[@ricklesser5851]

That's funny I just posted the same comment , I was with Voicestream first. Exact same experiences you have. Love them

[@danielvasquez3758]

I never used them but those type of companies will always stay in business!!

[@TheBooban]

Well, they do this in the beginning, but then once they become a monopoly, they do the same thing as the previous one.

[@mrlucasftw42]

I'm rocking Google Fi. They did the strangest thing Around May of 2022. They cut the price and increased the cap of unthrottled speed on the unlimited plan. This is right in the middle of when inflation started to rage. And with no effort - they just improved.

[@Fail.Better]

I can't deny that T-Mobile's marketing is top notch, and that they did all of humanity a favor when they basically killed contracts for the whole industry, but I do have to say that their stock is ludicrously overpriced. Their revenue growth since the "merger" is basically flat, they make very little in the way of profit, they pay no dividend, do no buybacks(in fact they've increased share counts), and their debt is slowly creeping up to T and VZ's levels. I'm not sure what people see in the stock itself to allow it to be valued at ~60x earnings. That's Tesla crazy.

[@LogicallyAnswered]

Yeah they have quite a generous valuation

[@TheBooban]

The debt is from the 5g competition. They clobbered T and Vz, who are in worse shape. Expectation is revenue coming from 5g services. But yeah, PE of 66 in this market environment is peculiar.

[@Johnbbotc]

Technically when you think about it, if you lease a phone for 36 months that’s basically like a contract. You can’t cancel your service until the device is paid off. When I was on a 2 year contract I had to pay $199.99 for the newest devices then be with them for two years. The two-year contract lets you buy an expensive phone at a inexpensive subsidized price of $199. the cost of the phone is added into your monthly fee. If you cancel your service before the contract expires you would be charged a early termination fee. Don’t be fooled. They still do contracts. They just changed a few things around to make it seem like it isn’t a contract.

[@Fail.Better]

@@Johnbbotc I stopped leasing phones the second you could buy your own and take them anywhere. You can buy newish used phones in the 200 range or less these days, nobody should at this point willingly do a lease agreement if they have an option not to. I'm sure it still happens, but it's extremely easy these days to avoid a contract.

[@WitchMedusa]

I've used Mint mobile which is an MVNO operating on T-Mobile's network & I can say that service was quite good. Personally I doubt care about 5G, 4G & LTE are more than good enough, what's more important to me is good coverage & low ping. Ping is hardly gonna be effected by the generation of cellular your using, it's more so a result of sub-station routing & distance to the endpoint. Coverage, well that's just more antennas in rural areas & hopefully longer range stuff.

[@GStCross]

Unfortunately they still have a spotty coverage which is a dealbreaker for me 🤷🏻‍♂️ Best data plans & speeds though.

[@markusmatthew7044]

Been with Verizon since 2011. I hardly ever think of switching to another isp, but when I do I either get paranoid that service won't be as good or the cost will be the same or even increase over time. If I can cut costs without sacrificing connectivity, I May just have to look more into switching.

[@markusmatthew7044]

Appreciate the video. 👍

[@ajiteshmishra]

vodafone need someone like tmobile ceo in india

[@oscarusestools]

I’ve had Verizon when it first got the iPhone. I haven’t switched because I’ve had grandfathered unlimited. Now they barely have a great deal with 20$ a month for a tablet but I’ve been disappointed by their service these last 3 years.

[@ivanThaOoze]

I've had T-mobile since i graduated high school in 2004! and honestly, i can only remember a couple times where they pissed me off. other than that its been pretty smooth. I'm very happy with them and the service for me was never bad(other than some rough patches). but maybe its because i never left the cities.

[@LeesReviews69]

I’ve been with T-Mobile since 2014. I was with Sprint before that. I have nothing but love for the company for trying to please us. I have all my Apple devices financed from T-Mobile no questions ever asked

[@danielton9577]

To be honest, I'm really glad they were able to bring the "un-carrier" mentality to home internet with 5G. I got tired of dealing with the cable company and have a viable alternative now. Is gigabit fiber faster? Sure. But most people don't actually need that and just don't want to get ripped off.

[@s3vR3x]

You completely skipped over covering the fact that if not for T-Mobile, android woudlnt have grown to what it is. Since T-Mobile couldn’t get the iPhone, they took a huge bet on android especially with the launch of the first android phone and then kept growing it

[@TrentonMatthews]

Yeah... Why skip over something so... Iconic!

I have t mobile lmao Ig that’s just shows how prevalent they are Great vid hari!

[@SoapBoxMediaTV]

One little thing they do: they break the law by including the taxes in their monthly charge. It's supposed to be added on top. That's illegal. Every month they take exactly $50 from my bank account. Exactly $50. Simple. And i love it.

[@penusp]

How did you miss they purchased MetroPCS in 2013 ?

[@yolomx93]

I loved T Mobile when I was student, but in Mexico the best operator that gives you the best offer for your money is AT&T

[@aloesecretinc]

Tmo service has become much better. Value, service, i have no complaints. Been very happy since i switched.

[@olafzaplinski7721]

German guy here. We got 3 carriers here, and I have chosen Telekom, mother of T-Mobile because both others just suck. When Corona was a thing and all fellow IT folks were working from home, I went to the office and did a speed check. 600 Mbit/s. On a phone. I have less than that at home. And it's cheap. 10 euros every 28 days. Well, cheap thinking of European prices.

[@arthurn8952]

I was with verizon for 8 years then at&t for 2 years and in 2016 switched to tmobile cant complain there services has been really and has gotten better and better with every year . There customer service is the best they try there best to solve any problem or surprise charges unlike the other 2 . My uncle was also with verizon for years I told him switch he didnt want to trust me now hes been 4 years with tmobile and hes very happy

Keep Austin Weird bro! easily one of the top cities in the US, i'm a wee bit north of you on i35

[@jx5189]

I have been with T-Mobile for 17 years I didn't realize that T-Mobile was considered so bad. Before that I had Verizon in my apt., I was always having dropped calls and the straw that broke the camel's back was when I was on a service call with some company waited on hold for a half hour and as soon as I got a rep on the phone the call got dropped, I was done. I called Verizon right after that said disconnect my service right now then threw the phone against the wall not the most mature thing to do. 17 years later T-Mobile is still the only carrier that can give me reliable service where I live.

[@schizo0223]

Our whole family switched to T- Mobile after a decade of Verizon. Couldn't be happier.
