There is some bad news and some good news.

1. Tmobile USA only signed up 650,000 net new subscribers which is the bad news

2. The good news is that Tmobile USA is approved to bid when the spectrum auction comes up.


What is the view of people on here? Could it be perhaps the start of Tmobile USA's demise?

Who knows maybe. Maybe it was cricket starting service in texas that caused the problems. Maybe it was all those kill the insect shirts. Kinda makes you think?? 🤣 Hey where did you get the info do you have a link you could post. Hey do you have any info on the other carrier yet??

Usually forecasts are higher than actual numbers. It'd be a shame if they get even less than 650,000. 😢
What's wrong with T-Mo? Couldn't that 1500 minute plan save you? 😢 😢 😢

These numbers do not seem to be forecasting, but that is why I said that there is their earnings report soon so people should, however, the language is stated to be “Focus reported that second-quarter net subscription additions at T-mobile USA WILL be 650,000 against 900,000.”

Well, I don't know. T-Mobile's phone line is still very small compared to Cingular and Verizon and Sprint who all seem to bring in new models every two weeks. T-Mobile seems to get in one new phone per quarter if they are lucky. I remember at one point T-Mobile's phone selection and pricing was the same for 6 straight months.

But it does not matter to me what they do anym...

at&t. I got a fabulous deal on my landline. So I figured, hey I mainly use my cell at home, so why not cancel the cell and get unlimited long distance calling and save big bucks. I have not regretted it.

Yea, T-mobile is just struggling lately and I think that will continue until they get new spectrum. I really think something must be wrong with the 1500 mins and 1000 mins offered. Something must be wrong. We will see when they report their earnings. I obviously will be all over it when they publish.
