I think T-Mobile will continue to grow. But they need to hang on to thier current rate plans.

27.1 million customers?
That's really promising. They're doing a lot better than Cingular ever did as a standalone company. At the time Cingular bought out AT&T they were around 26 million customers and AT&T was around 22 million customers.
With T-Mobile's current and continuous improvement in growth, I can only wonder if they would have passed up both Cingular and AT&T in customer base in 2006.
Good job T-Mobile. You're doing something right!

Okay, now I believe that customer base number is a typo. T-Mobile currently has 21.7 million customers, not 27.1 million.
So, that basically scraps my last post. Except for the part congratulating T-Mobile. The company is still seeing incredible growth for its size.

It's a typo. It should be 21.7 million instead of 27.1 million.
