BELLEVUE, Wash., November 6, 2008 T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile USA) today reported third quarter 2008 results. At the end of the quarter, T-Mobile USA had 32.1 million customers, adding 670,000 net new customers during the third quarter, and OIBDA of $1.53 billion, up 8% compared to the third quarter of 2007.
In the quarter, T-Mobile took giant steps forward in driving new innovations to meet the pressing needs of our customers, said Robert Dotson, President and CEO, T-Mobile USA. We introduced our customers to the T-Mobile @Home® landline replacement service at a time when saving money is a top priority for American households. We also established our new nationwide high-speed

3G services, which will cover 120 cities by the end of November. This network introduction was accompanied by the unveiling of the T-Mobile G1 with Google, the worlds first device built on the fully open Android operating platform giving consumers access to some of the most innovative mobile applications to ever come to market. These and other innovations are helping us aggressively compete as we debut new and craved-for services that truly meet customer needs and inspire greater long term loyalty to our brand.
T-Mobile USA continues to be one of the strong growth drivers for Deutsche Telekom, said René Obermann, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Telekom. With the introduction of its 3G network in the U.S. and the successful launch of the T-Mobile G1 with Google, T-Mobile USA is now in an excellent position to further leverage the enormous potential of mobile data in its market.
Customers
| In the third quarter of 2008, T-Mobile USA added 670,000 net new customers, up from 668,000 in the second quarter of 2008, and down from 857,000 in the third quarter of 2007. |
|
The number of net new customer additions was consistent sequentially, despite higher gross customer additions. This is primarily due to higher contract churn, as explained below. Gross customer additions were higher both sequentially and compared to the third quarter of 2007. This is a reflection of successful products such as myFavessm, FlexPaysm an innovative hybrid plan that combines elements of traditional postpaid and prepaid plans, and T-Mobile @Home, a landline replacement product that was launched at the beginning of the third quarter of 2008. |
| Contract customer net additions decreased in the third quarter of 2008 making up almost 44% of customer growth, down from 80% in the second quarter of 2008 and 65% in the third quarter of 2007. |
| Prepaid net additions were 377,000 in the third quarter of 2008, up from 143,000 in the second quarter of 2008 and 300,000 in the third quarter of 2007. The sequential increase in prepaid net customer additions was due to improved prepaid churn and higher reseller net customer additions. The majority of prepaid net additions in the third quarter of 2008 were FlexPay no-contract customers, which typically have a higher ARPU than legacy prepaid customers, as discussed below. |

| myFaves continues to be very popular with our customers. At the end of the third quarter of 2008 there were over 7 million myFaves customers, up from 6.5 million at the end of the second quarter of 2008 and 3.5 million in the third quarter of 2007. |
| Contract customers comprised 83% of T-Mobile USAs total customer base at September 30, 2008. T-Mobile USA ended the quarter with 32.1 million customers. |
Churn
| Contract customer churn was 2.4% in the third quarter of 2008, up from 1.9% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2.0% in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The sequential increase in contract churn was primarily due to the continued impact of customers coming to the anniversary of their two-year contract that was first introduced in April 2006. The second quarter of 2008 was the first quarter these two-year contracts could have expired. Competitive pressure also contributed to the sequential increase in contract churn. |
| Blended churn, including both contract and prepaid customers, was 3.0% in the third quarter of 2008, up from 2.7% in the second quarter of 2008 and 2.9% in the third quarter of 2007. |
OIBDA and Net Income
| T-Mobile USA reported OIBDA of $1.53 billion in the third quarter of 2008, down from $1.58 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and up from the $1.41 billion in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The sequential decrease in OIBDA was primarily due to higher customer acquisition costs, as commissions expense increased due to volumes, and higher general and administrative costs. |
| OIBDA margin was 31% in the third quarter of 2008, down from 32% in the second quarter of 2008 and the third quarter of 2007. |

| Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $442 million, down from the $452 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $526 million in the third quarter of 2007. |
Revenue
| Service revenues (as defined in Note 1 to the Selected Data, below) were $4.91 billion in the third quarter of 2008, up from $4.85 billion in the second quarter of 2008, and $4.33 billion in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The increase in service revenues year over year was primarily due to the growth in contract customers, including the impact of the SunCom Wireless acquisition. |
| Total revenues, including service, equipment, and other revenues were $5.51 billion in the third quarter of 2008, slightly up from $5.47 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and $4.89 billion in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The acquisition of SunCom, and its second full quarter consolidation in T-Mobile USAs results, contributed $192 million to total revenues in the third quarter. |
ARPU
| Blended Average Revenue Per User (ARPU as defined in note 1 to the Selected Data, below) was $52 in the third quarter of 2008, consistent with $52 in the second quarter and down from $53 in the third quarter of 2007. |
| Contract ARPU was $55 in the third quarter of 2008, consistent with the second quarter of 2008 and down from $57 in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The decrease in contract ARPU year over year was primarily due to lower usage based revenues from contract customers. |
| Prepaid ARPU was $24 in the third quarter of 2008, up from $23 in the second quarter of 2008 and $18 in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The increase in prepaid ARPU is due to the success of higher ARPU of FlexPay no-contract compared to legacy prepaid products. |
| Data services revenue (as defined in Note 1 to the Selected Data, below) was $850 million in the third quarter of 2008, representing 17.3% of blended ARPU, or $8.90 per customer, compared with 16.6% of blended ARPU, or $8.60 per customer in the second quarter of 2008, and 15.4% of blended ARPU, or $8.10 per customer in the third quarter of 2007. Data services revenue increased 28% year over year. |

| Growth in messaging revenue continued to be the most significant driver of data ARPU, as customers continue to move towards purchasing plans that include messaging, including our unlimited voice and data plans. The total number of messages on the T-Mobile USA network increased to almost 49 billion in the third quarter of 2008, compared to 41 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and 21 billion in the third quarter of 2007. |
| Strong GPRS / EDGE access and usage through continued growth in converged device users was another significant driver for increased data revenues. |
CPGA and CCPU
| The average cost of acquiring a customer, Cost Per Gross Add (CPGA as defined in note 4 to the Selected Data, below) was $290 in the third quarter of 2008, down from $320 in the second quarter of 2008 and up from $280 in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The decrease in CPGA compared to the second quarter of 2008 is primarily due to higher gross customer additions, in particular lower advertising expense per customer. |
| Excluding the impact of SunCom, T-Mobile USAs CPGA in the third quarter of 2008 would have been $280, consistent with the third 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 third quarter of 2008, consistent with the second quarter of 2008 and lower than CCPU of $26 in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The decrease in CCPU in the third quarter of 2008 versus the third quarter of 2007 is primarily due to lower network costs per customer, driven by lower roaming expense per customer. |

Capital Expenditures
| Cash capital expenditures (see note 7 to the Selected Data below) were $956 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared with $1,062 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $500 million in the third quarter of 2007. |
| The year over year increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to the build out of T-Mobile USAs 3G (UMTS / HSDPA) network as well as cash payment timing differences. |
| T-Mobile USA continued its commitment to improve coverage in the third quarter of 2008, adding approximately 900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE new cell sites, bringing the total number of cell sites at the end of the quarter to 42,900. |
| T-Mobile USA ended the quarter with 14,700 3G capable cell sites (included in the 42,900 total cell sites above). |
Stick Together Highlights
| On September 5, 2008, T-Mobile USA launched the T-Mobile products and services in the previously branded SunCom markets, including Puerto Rico. Additionally, all major SunCom systems have been integrated into T-Mobile USA as of the end of the third quarter of 2008. |
| On October 17, 2008, T-Mobile USA, Inc. announced that it continues to aggressively expand its third-generation (3G) wireless broadband service in more than 120 major cities by the end of November. On October 30, 2008, T-Mobile added Washington D.C. as the latest major population center to benefit from T-Mobiles 3G service. |
| On September 23, T-Mobile USA announced the launch of the worlds first Android-powered mobile phone in partnership with Google. Available in the fourth quarter 2008 only for T-Mobile customers in the USA, the T-Mobile G1 combines full touch-screen functionality and a QWERTY keyboard with a mobile Web experience. |
| In order to provide more options to customers, on October 8, T-Mobile began offering postpaid month-to-month rate plans without a requirement for customers to sign an annual contract. All postpaid rate plans including single line, FamilyTime, and myFaves are available under this new service option. |

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 (including messaging and non-messaging revenue) 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.

A customer is defined as a SIM card with a unique mobile identity number which generates revenue. 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. OIBDA is not adjusted for integration costs of SunCom. |
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 consist of amounts paid by T-Mobile USA for purchases of property 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 total customers during the period. Wi-Fi revenues are shown as a component of data revenues. The relative fair value of data revenues from unlimited voice and data plans are included in total data 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. |
