The long-planned merger between wireless rivals T-Mobile and Sprint finally became official on Wednesday. As part of the merger, T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere is leaving his post a little early, though he will remain a board member of the combined company through this summer. The merger produces a stronger No. 3 wireless industry player that’s …
In the past year or so, it’s gotten to the point where most times I’ve gotten a press release from T-Mobile — which has almost always included a quote from the so-called Un-carrier’s CEO, in which he almost always goes out of his way to zing rivals like AT&T and Verizon — AT&T has followed …
At this point, taking digs at the competition is practically baked into T-Mobile’s identity as a company — even down to the way it refers to itself as the Un-carrier. So it should probably come as no surprise that when the company’s idiosyncratic CEO John Legere unveils his predictions for 2019, as he’s done today, …
For T-Mobile CEO John Legere, poking fun at Verizon and AT&T is seemingly part of his job description. Whether he’s picking up their disgruntled customers on Twitter or coming up with Trumpian nicknames, respect for the competition certainly isn’t a maxim at T-Mobile HQ. The company’s latest stunt actually puts money behind Legere’s Twitter account, …
T-Mobile has moved at speed to offering just one type of unlimited data plan. Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive — shocker! — but T-Mobile’s One plan leaves people who don’t want to pay the price for unlimited data out in the cold. So, shortly after revealing the T-Mobile One plan, the network also announced …
T-Mobile CEO John Legere has literally made his career by calling out other companies on their bullshit. The magenta-colored Twitterphile delights in video rants slamming AT&T and Verizon for deceptive billing practices, “line access fees,” and “activation fees” that do nothing but pad the bottom line. Legere has a great point: badly-named fees are anti-consumer, …
John Legere has literally made a career by bashing other wireless carriers for “ridiculous” activation fees, “bullshit” extra add-ons, and “absurd” pricing schemes. So it’s a little awkward that T-Mobile has very quietly increased the cost of its “SIM Starter Kit” — that’s an activation fee, let’s be clear — to $25. That’s the second …
T-Mobile has been pushing the T-Mobile One plan since introducing it earlier this year, but starting later this month, T-Mobile is putting its money when John Legere’s rather rude mouth is. As of January 22nd, T-Mobile will only sell the T-Mobile One plan, and the advertised price will include all taxes and fees.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere has made a big name for himself in 2016, and not just for picking a Twitter fight with the President-Elect. T-Mobile has made unprecedented moves this year, introducing a one-size-fits-all unlimited data plan, running the best Black Friday deals we’ve seen, and giving away shares of stock to every customer. So …
This week, RootMetrics released the results of its extensive network performance test for the second half of 2015, with Verizon taking home a vast majority of the honors. AT&T and Sprint trailed behind, with T-Mobile bringing up the rear. And if you know anything about T-Mobile, you can probably guess what happened next.
