T-Mobile’s John Legere says it’s time to deck the halls with Un-carrier spirit

By

It’s the so-called best time of the year, and John Legere is driving the T-Mobile hype train at full speed. After handing out gifts to existing customers, as well as Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon customers, the T-Mobile CEO released two videos this week wishing everyone a happy holiday. Dissing the competition is what Legere does best, so it can’t be a surprise that he took the time to do that as well.

The first video has Legere leading a chorus of popular holiday songs, only the words have been changed slightly. Okay, they were changed dramatically. Jingle Bells has been changed to Sprint Like Hell and Santa Claus is Coming to Town is now The Un-carrier is Coming to Town. You will also hear newer versions of The Little Drummer Boy and Deck the Halls.

Also, you can share the video via Twitter for a chance to win a cool prize from T-Mobile, if you use the #10DaysUncarrierContest hashtag. T-Mobile will pick one winner each day from December 14 through December 23 for various prizes like smartphones, chargers, Bluetooth speakers, smartwatches, and more.

Happy Holidays and THANK YOU from @JohnLegere & @TMobile

Legere followed up with yet another video today thanking customers for a fantastic year. This video show him baking cookies frosted with the un-carrier deals that T-Mobile cooked up during the year. Legere reminds us that T-Mobile is the fastest growing wireless carrier, has the fastest 4G LTE network, is on the top of JD Power’s care list, and ranked number one with Consumer Reports.

Or course, Legere noted that none of this could be achieved without the best customers in the world. More than 28 million new customers joined T-Mobile since the Un-carrier program started.

Wait a minute, didn’t Legere have anything to say about the other carriers? Of course he did. Legere took the time to bake a few special cookies for AT&T and Verizon. He promised to send AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson and Verizon CEO and chairman Lowell McAdam a few. We’re sure they can’t wait.

T-Mobile still has the fastest 5G, but its rivals are catching up
T-Mobile smartphone.

For most of 2023, we’ve seen median 5G speeds among the big three carriers remain fairly stable, leading us to believe that things were beginning to reach a plateau. However, it now seems that this may only be true at the very top end of the 5G speed race.

Today, Ookla released its latest market research on 5G speeds for the third quarter of 2023, and it’s an interesting mix of surprising and not-so-surprising developments in the 5G market.

T-Mobile has just unveiled a new set of plans and perks to help both new and current customers break free of lengthy device contracts while guaranteeing you'll be able to get the best deals available on phone upgrades every two years.

Significantly, with the new plans, the "Un-carrier" promises equal treatment for all customers, whether they're coming over from another carrier or have been using T-Mobile's services for years. That's in contrast to the limited-time offers of its rivals, which often ignore their most loyal subscribers in an effort to entice others to switch carriers.

It’s late 2022, and Verizon and AT&T still can’t beat T-Mobile’s 5G network

It’s been 10 months since Verizon and AT&T flipped the switch on their new C-band 5G spectrum, but it appears both carriers still have their work cut out for them if they want to catch up to T-Mobile.

Market analyses and independent tests have agreed for years that T-Mobile is the fastest and most reliable 5G carrier in the U.S. That’s not surprising as it had a massive advantage by holding licenses for the crucial midrange spectrum that provides the best balance between range and speed. While Verizon’s early high-frequency mmWave rollouts allowed it to boast raw speeds that were significantly faster, those were confined to about 1% of its subscriber base.
