T-Mobile grew by 8.3 million subscribers in 2014

T-Mobile’s customer growth spurt continued into the normally busy holiday season in 2014 as it added 2.1 million new connections. It wasn’t T-Mobile’s best quarter of the year for subscriber growth -- that would be its blockbuster Q1 -- but it was a good way to cap off a very successful year. Off the back of its evolving Uncarrier strategy, T-Mobile recruited 8.3 million net new subscribers to its ranks, the carrier revealed. In a single year, T-Mobile grew its customer base by 18 percent, giving it a connection total of 55 million. At the end of Q3, Sprint had 55 million subscribers as well, so if Sprint continued its customer loss streak in Q4, T-Mobile will have assumed the mantle of the country’s third largest carrier.
