T-Mobile has been grabbing some attention. With their no contract, no limit plans, why not? They certainly have my attention. While the news is not all good, they did add 579,000 new customers and continue to grow. Basically you have to include the acquisition of Metro PCS and the money spent advertising combined with the aforementioned sales and their first branded customer growth since 2009 to see that T-Mobile is coming on strong.

Here is some of the press release to go through:

T-Mobile today reported first quarter 2013 results for T-Mobile USA, demonstrating significant, positive customer momentum throughout the quarter and the first positive branded customer growth in four years. T-Mobile USA reported 3,000 branded net customer additions for the quarter, resulting from a 61% year-over-year improvement in branded postpaid net customer losses due primarily to improved branded postpaid churn performance, combined with branded prepaid customer growth.

On March 26, 2013, T-Mobile USA launched the Un-carrier value proposition by introducing our radically simplified “Simple Choice” service plan and providing customers with the lowest out-of-pocket costs on some of the most popular devices available in the US wireless industry. On April 12, 2013, T-Mobile USA began selling the iPhone at all Company-owned stores in combination with the new Simple Choice service plan. To date the Company has sold approximately 500,000 iPhone5's to new and existing customers. On April 30, we completed the combination of T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS, at which time the combined company's name was changed to T-Mobile US, Inc. (T-Mobile), and on May 1, 2013, T-Mobile's stock commenced trading under the new ticker symbol “TMUS” on the New York Stock Exchange.

T-Mobile USA's capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.1 billion, in support of an accelerating network modernization program on pace to achieve 200 million covered pops with 4G LTE by the end of 2013. As of the end of the first quarter of 2013, the Company had launched 4G LTE in seven major metropolitan areas and modernized approximately 16,000 sites with HSPA+ on 1900 MHz spectrum.
“Our first quarter operating metrics and financial results are showing positive impact from the changes we began making in the fourth quarter. Branded customer net additions turned positive for the first time since the first quarter of 2009 and our postpaid business has demonstrated significant improvement,” said John Legere, President & CEO of T-Mobile. “We ended the quarter with strong operational momentum, which is continuing into the second quarter, driven by the successful launch of our Un-carrier “Simple Choice” service plan and the introduction of the iPhone into our device line-up. Things only get more exciting from here, having brought T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS together to create the wireless industry's value leader and premier challenger.”
