I've noticed on the T-Mobile website that the company refers to itself as "T-Mobile USA, Inc.". Is T-Mobile USA a subsidiary of T-Mobile US or is the real company name "T-Mobile USA, Inc."? Jesant13 ( talk) 04:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I cleaned up the whole article, but that meant some major changes. I wanted it to be as transparent as possible, so I did it section by section.
The changes were based on a fork I made a few days ago. I tried to make sure I wasn't loosing anything by checking what changed recently, but I may have accidentally lost somethings. If so, I apologies and ask that you let me know and reinsert the removed thoughts. Hope this is helpful! - Davandron | Talk 16:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
The financial statement has the following info that might benefit the article:
What does the group think? - Davandron | Talk 13:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
question the article stats that
"As part of its winnings, T-Mobile gained nationwide coverage of 10 MHz or 20 MHz, with numerous areas being supplemented with addition licenses. Examples include New York City, Chicago, and Boston where T-Mobile acquired 30 MHz (one-third) of the available spectrum, or San Francisco, Houston, and Miami where they acquired 40 MHz (45%) of the available spectrum."
But the statement of "Boston where T-Mobile acquired 30 MHz (one-third) of the available spectrum"
30 MHz is not the same thing as 1/3 of the available spectrum. 30 MHz is the something as 3.0 GHz it is a Radio frequency not a % of the radio spectrum I think what it is trying to so is they now own 1/3 of the market on the 1.0 GHz /2.0 GHz spectrum also "San Francisco, Houston, and Miami where they acquired 40 MHz (45%) of the available spectrum." is running in to the same problem. thank you tauri5663

According to T-Mobile PR STATEMENT REGARDING T-MOBILE HOTSPOT AND STARBUCKS: T-Mobile devices & customers will retain access to Starbucks hotspots for "years to come", indeed the Starbucks hotspot network will remain substantially T-Mobile based throughout 2008 and access will be grandfathered after that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.16.234 ( talk) 01:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Should it be mentioned that their implimentation of 3G service is non standard? They used 2100 and 1700 whereas most unlocked Nokia Handsets as well as Motorola handsets use WCDMA 2100 for 3g. AT&T implimtented it in the standard way, the same way they are doing it in Europe. This means that one has to use a T-Mobile handset to access the 3G, something that many might be unwilling to do, considering most people choose GSM for handset freedom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.12.46.138 ( talk) 18:00, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

This article needs major work as it cites past events as upcoming (see "Network" as an example, or the paragraph on customer service directly above it). It also needs rewriting numerous portions (for instance the section on GPRS and EDGE... which should be updated to reflect T-Mobile's move to 3G, and their very recent upgrade to the HSPA 7.2 3G speeds).
If I have the chance, (and if no one beats me to it) I will start on it...

Article states On April 9, 2010, the report was released in German at a press conference at the German headquarters of Deutsche Telekom in Bonn, and stirred up considerable media feedback. This leads to the impression that the press conference was actually at the HQ of DT which it was not. It was only in the city of Bonn, which is home to the HQ of DT. -- 178.202.229.63 ( talk) 13:48, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

The information in the Labor relations section appears to be accurate, reasonably well cited, historic and encyclopedic. However, it is also one-sided and is not in keeping with the guidelines described in WP:UNDUE. This section describes labor's view of the situation exclusively. The section is in need of significant revision to add the viewpoints of the company and the employees who do/did not want union representation. Additionally, it would be appropriate to reduce the size of the section as it is unnecessarily long and detailed.
TL/DR the Labor relations section needs to be shorter and "fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint" per WP:UNDUE. Ch Th Jo ( talk) 01:31, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

In the "4G/LTE upgrade" section, a change was made between 00:13, 7 March 2012 and 12:33, 24 March 2012. This change included the following: "in order to achieve compatibility with othecivet works and phones in the USA".
Clearly, "othecivet" is not a word, but I've no idea what the person making the change intended to say. I'm not well-versed in Wikipedia editing, and am uncertain how to mark this to bring it to somebody's attention. (Just spent 20 minutes trying to ascertain if there's a "fix me" tag of some kind, to no avail.) Apologies for not fixing this myself, but I'm not entirely sure how best to do so. I don't want to just roll back the user's change, as other worthwhile changes were made.
So, I mark it here, in hopes somebody will see this, and have some idea what the sentence should read. Thanks! :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.52.13.66 ( talk) 09:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
There's seems to be a dispute as to whether VoiceStream Wireless should be a redirect to this page or it's own article. I oppose a separate article. Firstly, because it is still the same company. It was acquired by Deutsche Telekom and its name chanhed to match the international branding, but its still the same continuous operation and, as far as I can see from regulatory filings, the same corporate charter. Even the infobox here uses the 1994 founding date As the other proposed article is a short article at best, with only four paragraphs once the meta-content like the infobox and the parts redundant to this article are removed), it's an unneeded fork. It's completely analogous to Cingular Wireless being a redirect to AT&T Mobility, which was done based on the same reasoning. oknazevad ( talk) 18:17, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Looks like most of the content there is already in this article, and this article has more up-to-date content, because nobody bothered to update T-Mobile USA 3G until I came along today, only to realize the very issue I'm flagging here. -- Dandv( talk| contribs) 08:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
I see someone put the follwing into the Article ". As of 2011, J.D. Power and Associates, a global marketing-information-services firm, ranked the company highest among major wireless carriers for retail-store satisfaction four years consecutively and highest for wireless customer care two years consecutively." It seems that is no longer true see here, here, here, here, here and there is nothing on the T-Mobile website that even mentions any awards from J.D Power and Associates UnknownElement ( Talk) 01:25, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Under "roaming": "On July 15, 2015, T-Mobile launched Mobile Without Borders, a service included with all new T-Mobile plans and available as an add-on to grandfathered or promotional plans. With Mobile Without Borders, customers can stay connected when traveling in Canada and Mexico with unlimited talk, text and data and up to 5GB of 4G LTE (or a maximum of high-speed data allotment, whichever comes first). Mobile Without Borders is included on T-Mobile ONE, Simple Choice North America, or with a qualifying feature on certain prepaid plans. After 5GB of high-speed data is used in Mexico and Canada (or high-speed data allotment is reached, whichever comes first), customers stay connected with unlimited data at Simple Global speeds (up to 128kbps for most plans or 256kbps with T-Mobile ONE Plus)." <INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE UPDATED> In the "products and services" section, add these paragraphs: T-Mobile Essentials In August 2018, T-Mobile introduced T-Mobile Essentials, a tailor-made phone plan for customers who just want the basics. Unlimited talk, text and data at a lower price than T-Mobile ONE for $30/line for 4 lines with AutoPay, plus taxes and fees. <INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE ADDED> T-Mobile ONE for Military In April 2018, T-Mobile introduced T-Mobile ONE for Military – the biggest military discount in wireless. T-Mobile ONE for Military is 20% off the first line and Half Off up to five additional voice lines. The first line is $55 with AutoPay – normally $70. And it’s Half Off after that, up to six lines – just $25 line and $10 per line for the third through sixth lines with AutoPay. With this plan, on average a family of four can save $665 per year. It also includes everything included in the T-Mobile ONE plan at no extra cost. <INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE ADDED> Unlimited 55+ In August 2017, T-Mobile introduced the Unlimited 55+ plan. With this, customers ages 55 years and older can get two lines of T-Mobile ONE for $60 with AutoPay – all with unlimited talk, text, and LTE data. <INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE ADDED> T-Mobile ONE In August 2016, T-Mobile introduced T-Mobile ONE. It combines unlimited voice minutes, text messaging, and high-speed data. This plan also includes regulatory taxes and fees included in the price; Netflix Standard 2-screen plan at no extra charge (with 2+ qualifying lines); stream unlimited video at DVD-quality; stream unlimited music; texting and data abroad in 140+ countries and destinations; in-flight texting and one hour of Wi-Fi on Gogo-enabled flights; unlimited in Mexico and Canada; and, mobile hotspot data at 3G speeds. T-Mobile ONE is $70 for one line; $60/line for two lines with Netflix included; $47/line for three lines with Netflix included; and $35/line for four lines with Netflix included. <INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE UPDATED> •Explanation of issue: the first change updates factual inaccuracies about what Mobile Without Borders is and adds in what the plan includes. T-Mobile has also added three new rate plans to its product line, and these needed to be added for transparency of all T-Mobile offers. Additionally, T-Mobile ONE plan had inaccuracies about the program that includes Netflix, so updated/accurate language has been added there. These changes make this page accurate and encompasses the full information about the company's products/services •References supporting change: https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/roaming https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/binge-on-streaming-video |

T-Mobile USA →
T-Mobile US – This page was moved without discussion by
BilCat 8 days ago, but I believe that was an error. Looking at the
page log, this article was moved from T-Mobile USA to T-Mobile US back in 2013 when the company's name was legally changed. Looking over their
Investor Relations page, and their
latest financial statements, the legal name of the company is "T-Mobile U.S. Inc." (or "T-Mobile US, Inc."), not "T-Mobile USA. As far as whether to use "U.S." or "US", since T-Mobile uses both versions, I think it's best to use "U.S." as that is generally what is used in Wikipedia titles by default when abbreviating United States.

The Essentials section quotes "prioritize" during network congestion, however my reading of the fine print for Essentials plans shows that the proper word would be "deprioritize." As of this writing, the page states:
During congestion, customers using >50GB/mo. and Essentials customers may notice lower speeds than other customers due to data prioritization.
