T-Mobile Maintains Positive Outlook on Subscription Offers
T-Mobile revealed that Go5G Next and Go5G Plus which provide subscriptions to streaming services like Netflix and Apple TV+ are among its most popular offerings. Around 60% of new subscribers chose these plans as they provide high-speed internet and access to streaming services.
"They are also the plans that are the most popular when existing customers are moving from their current rate plan to a new plan," said Mike Katz, president of marketing, strategy, and products for T-Mobile.
In addition, the telecom company remains attractive to its existing and new customers as it continues to offer flexible and discounted plans. Analysts also predict good outcomes for T-Mobile due to its rural and business market hold.
T-Mobile Attracts Customers, Decreases Churn Rate
An analyst shared that T-Mobile has effectively decreased its churn rate, known as the percentage of customers who stopped using the services. The company recorded its lowest first-quarter churn rate at 0.86%.
"People are now starting to be more cost-conscious and T-Mobile's disruptive punchy offers are resonating with home cable customers," said PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore.
The company also reported an additional 532,000 monthly bill-paying phone subscribers for its first quarter beating its closest competitor FactSet with only 477,500 new users.
Regardless, the company still narrowly missed the analysts' estimates of $19.81 billion after gaining only $19.59 billion.
T-Mobile is now moving forward with its plans, including a $950 million investment for a 50% stake in a Swedish investment firm EQT's fund. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission recently approved the company's proposal to buy Ka'ena Corp.
