It’s no secret that T-Mobile has faced its fair share of controversy over the past few years, thanks to various factors, including frequent price increases (some of which seemingly ignore its earlier Price Lock guarantee), security breaches, and the gradual decline of T-Mobile Tuesdays. Many of these complaints stem from the fact that T-Mobile has fallen significantly from where it once stood in several key areas — but, to be fair, so has the entire mobile industry.

That said, T-Mobile still holds several advantages over Verizon and AT&T. Of course, there are also areas where its rivals come out ahead. Nonetheless, there’s a reason T-Mobile managed to gain 3 million additional subscribers in 2024, while Verizon added only 82,000 and AT&T gained just half a million.
