T-Mobile continues to scale its operations through acquisitions, partnerships, and shareholder returns. In recent T-Mobile news, the company completed its $4.4 billion acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations, which is expected to contribute $400 million in service revenue this quarter.

Latest T-Mobile News: T-Mobile Forecasts $400M Q3 Revenue Gain from UScellular Acquisition

T-Mobile projects a $400 million increase in service revenue for Q3, driven by its recent acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations.

The transaction officially closed on August 1 following regulatory clearance in July, which came without intervention from federal antitrust authorities.

This acquisition also adds UScellular’s customer base, retail footprint, and about 30% of its spectrum portfolio to T-Mobile’s existing assets.

T-Mobile plans to migrate customers to a unified billing system this quarter, which will result in a non-cash charge of approximately $350 million.

Additional integration-related expenses include about $100 million in one-time costs and $175 million in depreciation and amortization. These will be excluded from core adjusted EBITDA metrics.

SoftBank Raises $4.8B from T-Mobile Stock Sale

The shares were priced just under the lower end of the $224–$228 range. They also closed about 3% below T-Mobile’s June 16 trading price of $230.99.

Still, the Japanese firm holds a significant stake and remains T-Mobile’s second-largest shareholder behind Deutsche Telekom.

According to LSEG, before the sale, SoftBank owned roughly 7.5 percent of the company, equivalent to 85.36 million shares valued at $22.76 billion.

This transaction follows a 2023 agreement with the Sprint-T-Mobile merger, which granted SoftBank $7.59 billion in T-Mobile stock after meeting specific terms.

Bloomberg first reported this share sale.

T-Mobile News: T-Mobile Declares $0.88 Cash Dividend Per Share

In another T-Mobile news, the company announced on June 5 that its board had approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.88 per share.

Shareholders must also be on record by August 29 to qualify.

T-Mobile News: T-Mobile 5G Powers SailGP Broadcast With Predictive AI Technology

T-Mobile has expanded its tech footprint in professional sports by returning to the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix on Governors Island on June 7 and 8.

As SailGP’s exclusive U.S. 5G partner, the company is deploying its Advanced Network Solutions package, including hybrid and private networks and network slicing.

This setup powers live operations, camera systems, and real-time analytics across the race.

These upgrades enable predictive AI to improve both broadcast quality and race management.

Dozens of wireless cameras now deliver live cockpit and race-level views, while autonomous buoys equipped with environmental sensors self-adjust between races.

At the system’s core, AI ingests and analyzes live race data to predict key moments and guide camera tracking in real time.

The same data also supports split-second officiating decisions at SailGP’s command center in London.

T-Mobile Reports Best-Ever Q1 Postpaid Growth and Financial Gains

T-Mobile released its Q1 2025 results on April 24, reporting record postpaid growth and strong financial performance overall.

The company added 1.3 million net postpaid customers, 495,000 postpaid phone lines, and 424,000 high-speed internet users.

Service revenue rose 5% year-over-year to $16.9 billion, while net income hit $3 billion, up 24%.

Core Adjusted EBITDA reached $8.3 billion, and free cash flow totaled $4.4 billion, both marking the company’s highest Q1 results to date.

T-Mobile also returned $3.5 billion to shareholders during the quarter.

On the network side, the company expanded its 5G Advanced rollout, hitting 6.3 GBPS in recent field tests.

Additionally, it launched the beta for T-Satellite, the only U.S. satellite service compatible with most modern smartphones.

As such, Opensignal named T-Mobile the global leader in download speed experience among carriers in large-landmass countries, making it the only provider worldwide to receive that distinction.

Separately, RootMetrics, part of Ookla, ranked T-Mobile first in 5G availability for the eighth consecutive time in its February 2025 report.

Conclusion

T-Mobile is tightening its competitive position through both operational and structural moves. The acceleration of cost synergies from the UScellular integration suggests stronger-than-expected execution.

Although the core business remains stable, ownership shifts and integration risks will be critical to watch over the next few quarters.
