T-Mobile posted its fourth-quarter and full-year results early Wednesday morning. While most company executives are on edge ahead of an earnings release, it was just another party for T-Mobile CEO John Legere and his colleagues — and for good reason. As rival carriers continue their struggle to draw in new subscribers or retain the ones they have, the “Un-carrier” managed 2.1 million net additions in the fourth quarter alone, with 1.3 million of them having been branded postpaid subscribers.
Earnings reports are generally pretty boring, so let’s try something different this time around. Here’s just about everything you need to know about T-Mobile’s earnings report, but in the form of an epic John Legere tweetstorm that took place early on Wednesday.
