T-Mobile has again delivered another quality customer growth quarter while pushing the innovation frontier in communications, said Robert Dotson, President and CEO, T-Mobile USA. In the quarter we crossed the 30 million customer mark more than tripling our customer base over the past six years under the T-Mobile brand. We also finalized our SunCom acquisition, filling in the last major part of our footprint in the Carolinas and Puerto Rico and we are delighted to have the great employees of SunCom join our team. Our recent service introductions also have cracked open access to new areas of growth with targeted offerings in traditional landline replacement and advanced payment wireless plans along with the continued popularity of our unlimited myFavessm offering.
T-Mobile USA continues to be a key growth and earnings driver and a centerpiece of our consumer business, said René Obermann, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Telekom. The SunCom acquisition underscores the soundness of our strategy to use smart acquisitions to continue growing our wireless portfolio.
Customers
| In the first quarter of 2008, T-Mobile USA added 981,000 net new customers, up from 951,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007, and 980,000 in the first quarter of 2007. |
| Contract customer net additions in the first quarter of 2008 made up 75% of customer growth, consistent with the fourth and first quarters of 2007 which were 77% and 74%, respectively. |
| myFaves continues to be very popular with our customers. At the end of the first quarter there were more than 5.5 million myFaves customers, up from 5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2007. |
| The acquisition of SunCom contributed 1.1 million additional customers to T-Mobile USAs base during the quarter. The vast majority of these customers were contract customers. |

| Contract customers comprised 84% of T-Mobile USAs total customer base at March 31, 2008. |
Churn
| Contract customer churn was 1.7% in the first quarter of 2008, down from 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 1.9% in the first quarter of 2007. |
| Blended churn, including both contract and prepaid customers, was 2.6% in the first quarter of 2008, down from 2.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007 and in line with the first quarter of 2007. |
OIBDA and Net Income
| T-Mobile USA reported OIBDA of $1.44 billion in the first quarter of 2008, up from $1.33 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $1.23 billion in the first quarter of 2007. |
| The sequential increase in OIBDA was primarily due to higher customer numbers increasing service revenues. |
| OIBDA margin was 31% in the first quarter of 2008, up from 30% in both the fourth and first quarters of 2007. |
| Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $462 million, up from $383 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $315 million in the first quarter of 2007. |

| The increase in service revenues year on year was primarily due to the growth in contract customers. |
| The acquisition of SunCom increased total revenues by $86 million in the quarter. |
| Total revenues, including service, equipment, and other revenues were $5.19 billion in the first quarter of 2008, up from $5.07 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $4.55 billion in the first quarter of 2007. |
ARPU
| Blended Average Revenue Per User (ARPU as defined in note 1 to the Selected Data, below) was $51 in the first quarter of 2008, down from $52 in the fourth and first quarters of 2007. |
| Contract ARPU was $55 in the first quarter of 2008, down from $56 in the fourth and first quarters of 2007. |
| The sequential fall in contract ARPU was primarily due to lower variable revenues from contract customers. |
| Data services revenues were $760 million in the first quarter of 2008, representing 16.6% of blended ARPU, or $8.50 per customer, compared to 15.8% of blended ARPU, or $8.20 per customer in the fourth quarter of 2007, and 14.3% of blended ARPU, or $7.50 per customer in first quarter of 2007. |
| Growth in messaging revenue continued to be the most significant driver of data ARPU. The total number of SMS and MMS messages increased to 33 billion in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 24 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 16 billion in the first quarter of 2007. A major driver of the growth in messaging is the popularity of myFaves. |
| Strong GPRS / EDGE access and usage driven in particular by the continued strong uptake of converged devices was another significant driver for increased data revenues. |

| The average cost of acquiring a customer, Cost Per Gross Add (CPGA as defined in note 4 to the Selected Data, below) was $300 in the first quarter of 2008, the same as in the fourth quarter of 2007 and down from $310 in the first quarter of 2007. |
| The average cash cost of serving customers, Cash Cost Per User (CCPU as defined in note 3 to the Selected Data, below), was $25 per customer per month in the first quarter of 2008, the same as in both the fourth and first quarters of 2007. |

| The sequential fall in capital expenditures is due to fewer cell sites being built in the quarter. |
| T-Mobile USA continued its commitment to invest in network coverage and quality in the first quarter of 2008, adding approximately 600 cell sites. In addition to this, 2,500 cell sites were added through the acquisition of SunCom, bringing the total number of cell sites at the end of the quarter to 41,000. In the quarter T-Mobile USA also added approximately 5,000 3G (UMTS / HSDPA) capable cell sites, ending the quarter with more than 13,000 UMTS cell sites. |
Other Highlights
| On May 5, 2008 T-Mobile USA launched its 3G network in New York City. The launch of the 3G network in New York enables T-Mobile USA to use the AWS spectrum acquired in 2006 and lays the foundation for future growth in this important market. At the time of launch, T-Mobile USAs handset lineup included four UMTS-capable handsets. The introduction of further 3G-enabled handsets including converged devices is being planned over the course of this year. T-Mobile USA is planning to launch additional 3G markets throughout the year and to end the year with 3G coverage in 20 to 25 core markets. |

Since all companies do not calculate these figures in the same manner, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
1 | Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) represents the average monthly service revenue we earn from our customers. ARPU is calculated by dividing service revenues for the specified period by the average customers during the period, and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPU provides management with useful information to evaluate the recurring revenues generated from our customer base. |

Service revenues include contract, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, and do not include equipment sales and other revenues. Data services revenues is a component of service revenues. Within the consolidated financial statements below, other revenues include co-location rental income and wholesale revenues from the usage of our network in California, Nevada, and New York by AT&T customers, among other items, and are therefore not included in ARPU.
2 |
Contract customers and prepaid customers include FlexPaySM customers depending on the type of rate plan selected. FlexPay customers with a contract are included in contract customers, and FlexPay customers without a contract are included in prepaid customers. |
3 | The average cash cost of serving customers, or Cash Cost Per User (CCPU) is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all network and general and administrative costs as well as the subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition. Subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition includes upgrade handset costs for existing customers offset by upgrade equipment revenues and other related direct costs. This measure is calculated as a per month average by dividing the total costs for the specified period by the average total customers during the period and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe that CCPU, which is a measure of the costs of serving a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. |
4 | Cost Per Gross Add (CPGA) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the costs of acquiring a new customer, consisting of customer acquisition costs plus the subsidy loss related to customer acquisition for the specified period, by gross customers added during the period. Subsidy loss related to customer acquisition consists primarily of the excess of handset and accessory costs over related revenues incurred to acquire new customers. We believe that CPGA, which is a measure of the cost of acquiring a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. |
5 | Operating Income Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as operating income before depreciation and amortization. In a capital-intensive industry such as wireless telecommunications, we believe OIBDA, as well as the associated percentage margin calculation, to be meaningful measures of our operating performance. OIBDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. We use OIBDA as an integral part of our planning and internal financial reporting processes, to evaluate the performance of our business by senior management and to compare our performance with that of many of our competitors. We believe that operating income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable to OIBDA. |
6 | OIBDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as OIBDA (as described in note 5 above) divided by total revenues less equipment sales. |
7 | Capital expenditures include amounts paid by T-Mobile USA for purchases of property, plant and equipment. |
8 | The covered population statistic represents T-Mobile USAs GSM / GPRS / EDGE 1900 voice and data network coverage, combined with roaming and other agreements. |

9 | Data ARPU is defined as total data revenues from contract customers, prepaid customers, and other data revenues, divided by average contract and prepaid customers during the period. Wi-Fi revenues are shown as a component of service revenues. |
10 | Cell sites are defined as the total number of sites in service at the end of the period, excluding small low power, low gain access sites. A site is in service when all equipment is installed and the site is integrated into the network. |
