From DailyTech: T-Mobile has managed to pass Sprint and become No. 1 in the U.S. prepaid wireless sector. According to T-Mobile, it now has 15.64 million prepaid customers, which surpasses Sprint’s 15.19 million customers in the same market.
The big U.S. mobile players are far behind, with AT&T at 11.34 million prepaid customers and Verizon Wireless at 6.04 million prepaid customers.
“The good news just keeps on coming for T-Mobile,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile US, Inc.
“The momentum we’re seeing with our T-Mobile and MetroPCS brands is outstanding, and the fact that we’ve blown by everyone to take the No.1 spot in prepaid is icing on the cake. As a matter of fact, I’m going on record—I predict we’ll overtake Sprint in total customers by the end of this year. Not someday. Not next year. This year. Americans are voting with their feet, and they’re joining this Un-carrier revolution by the millions.”
T-Mobile added that MetroPCS, which merged with T-Mobile in May of last year, has helped reach today's success. MetroPCS gained 1.2 million new customers since this time last year.
