Apple: John Legere says T-Mobile passed Sprint to become third largest US carrier

John Legere says T-Mobile passed Sprint to become third largest US carrier

T-Mobile CEO John Legere announced during the company’s Q4 earnings call today that the company has surpassed Sprint to become the number three carrier in the country.

That would mean the carrier has reached its goal set by Legere to move ahead of Sprint by the end of last year (via The Verge):

“…Going into this year, they have 55 million customers… T-Mobile had 33 million customers. We merged with MetroPCS and went to 42 million customers, and we’ve since added 13 million customers to get up to, guess what, 55 million customers.”

So as of right now the two appear to be neck and neck based on the numbers Legere shared, but he also hinted T-Mobile’s lead would be easier to see over “the next quarter or two.”

T-Mobile says it will end domestic overages in May, petitions ATT, Sprint, Verizon to do the same

     Wifi Calling already gave them a huge boost for anyone who had poor reception at their house or didn’t have T-Mobile reception, but was in range of a wifi hotspot.
