Just months later, the service went live, transforming connectivity in places beyond traditional cell networks.<\/p>\n \nMeanwhile, the T-Life<\/a> app crossed 90 million installs, helping customers manage, explore and get more from their mobile experience. And with Srini Gopalan<\/a> taking charge as CEO, T-Mobile entered a bold new chapter to unleash the full Un-carrier. Through relentless innovation and customer love, T-Mobile showed exactly why 2025 proved to be its strongest year yet \u2014 and why it delivers the best network, best value and best experience in wireless.<\/p>\n \nHere\u2019s a look back at the moments that made 2025 a year to celebrate.<\/p>\n Best Network<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Un-carrier built the nation\u2019s best network and powered connection like never before.<\/p>\n T-Mobile Crowned America\u2019s Best Network<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile became the undisputed network champion, earning the title of America\u2019s Best Mobile Network<\/a> from Ookla. In the largest network performance test of its kind, half a billion data points from millions of devices being used by real people in the places and ways they actually use their phones, like video streaming, web browsing and more, the results confirmed T-Mobile\u2019s top spot. The recognition marked a major milestone in T-Mobile\u2019s evolution, powered by billions invested over more than a decade to give customers the best network in America.<\/p>\n The Future of 5G Arrived with 5G Advanced<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile became the first in the U.S. to launch 5G Advanced<\/a> nationwide, unlocking a new era of speed, intelligence and reliability and bringing the future to customers, businesses and developers. 5G Advanced enables innovations like L4S<\/a>, a first-of-its-kind U.S. technology that delivers smoother, more responsive performance even when networks are busy. It delivers faster speeds, lower latency and real-time adaptability to fuel immersive experiences like Extended Reality (XR), seamless cloud gaming and next-gen wearables.<\/p>\n T-Mobile Put First Responders First with T-Priority<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile strengthened its network leadership with T-Priority,<\/a> keeping first responders connected even during extreme congestion by giving them the highest priority across every 5G band on America\u2019s Best Network. It introduced the nation\u2019s first network slice for first responders along with the most advanced 5G ecosystem supporting them, collaborating with companies like Samsung and Skydio to roll out mission-critical tools<\/a> like AI-enabled devices and drones. To support the more than 4 million first responders across the U.S., T-Mobile offered exclusive benefits like free access to the T-Priority slice and a $2 million donation for charitable support to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.<\/p>\n SuperMobile Supercharged Business Connectivity<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile set a new standard for business connectivity with SuperMobile,<\/a> a plan that features the first and only nationwide network slice built for business, built-in security on America\u2019s Best Mobile Network and access to the world\u2019s largest satellite-to-mobile network with T-Satellite. Even Kevin Bacon<\/a> joined in to show how SuperMobile helps businesses stay more connected than ever. Industry leaders like Siemens Energy<\/a>, FOX Weather<\/a>, SERHANT.<\/a> and CNN<\/a> are already putting it to work, proving that with T-Mobile, companies can connect seamlessly to move faster and get more done wherever work happens.<\/p>\n Best Value<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile believes in giving its members more, just for choosing the Un-carrier.<\/p>\n T-Mobile and Metro Unveiled New Plans<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile introduced Experience More and Experience Beyond<\/a>, two new plans delivering unmatched value with a 5-year price guarantee on talk, text and data. And with Magenta Status<\/a> from day one, T-Mobile members can enjoy exclusive experiences and value simply for being with T-Mobile. That means access to T-Satellite<\/a> included with Experience Beyond, exclusive savings on streaming<\/a>, free texting in over 215 countries and destinations,<\/a> deals on hotels and rental cars,<\/a> free stuff through T-Mobile Tuesdays<\/a> and even more built into their plans. The best part? Experience Beyond delivers over $200 in added value for every line each month and families can save up to 20%<\/a> when switching from AT&T and Verizon by getting built-in benefits they leave out.<\/p>\n Metro by T-Mobile<\/a> followed suit with new, lower-priced prepaid options, bringing Un-carrier value to even more people.<\/p>\n Banner: T-Mobile Tuesdays Broke Records<\/b><\/p>\n What a way to wrap up 2025 (in this case, literally)! T-Mobile Tuesdays hit a new high with 2.3 million people clicking to claim the free T-Mobile magenta sherpa blanket in the T-Life app on Dec. 9. That beats the old record from 2021 (yep, also a blanket). And in 2026, T-Mobile Tuesdays is turning 10, so get ready for even more thank-yous, just because.<\/i><\/p>\n Check out T-Mobile Tuesdays in T-Life<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n T-Mobile Delivered DashPass by DoorDash on Us<\/b><\/p>\n \nTakeout hits different when someone else is paying for delivery. In 2025, T-Mobile debuted its newest \u201con Us\u201d benefit for T-Mobile members: a free year of DashPass by DoorDash<\/a> for customers on most plans, available through T-Life (up to $120 value per year). The perk means unlimited $0 delivery fees and lower service fees from thousands of local spots. Missed the offer window? All good. It\u2019ll be back next year. And if you\u2019re new to T-Mobile, you can grab it within your first 30 days with eligible plans. It’s just another reason life tastes better with America\u2019s Best Network.<\/p>\n T-Mobile Took Home Internet Further<\/b><\/p>\n \nNever one to slow down, T-Mobile built on its broadband momentum in 2025. After changing the game with 5G Home Internet<\/a>, the Un-carrier expanded into fiber and is giving even more communities access to ultra-fast, reliable broadband with the launch of T-Mobile Fiber<\/a>. Following the acquisitions of Metronet and Lumos, the service is now available in over 200 locations across 26 states, delivering the kind of connectivity that fuels work, learning and innovation. And just like 5G Home Internet, it comes with a 5-year price guarantee on internet data to give customers peace of mind over the cost of their internet. Plus, it includes weekly perks and freebies with T-Mobile Tuesdays \u2014 all with no annual contracts, equipment fees or hidden surprises.<\/p>\n Free Wi-Fi Soared Across America\u2019s Skies<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile and Southwest Airlines<\/a> recently teamed up to bring free in-flight Wi-Fi for all Rapid Rewards\u00ae Members, making Southwest the largest U.S. airline to offer free Wi-Fi on every flight. Travelers can now work, stream or scroll at no extra cost, whether they\u2019re with T-Mobile or not. T-Mobile members also get free in-flight Wi-Fi on Alaska, American, Delta and United Airlines, staying connected from takeoff to touchdown on most flights. And because connection should be for everyone, Delta SkyMiles\u00ae Members get free Wi-Fi on Delta all flight long on select U.S. flights, even if they’re not T-Mobile members.<\/p>\n Best Experience<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile is all about seamlessly connecting people to everything they love, the way wireless should.<\/p>\n T-Satellite Launched, Keeping Millions Connected<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile\u2019s mission to end dead zones became reality with T-Satellite with Starlink<\/a>, now connecting millions of people, including Verizon and AT&T customers. With more than 650 satellites in orbit, the service keeps people connected on most smartphones from the last four years in places no carrier towers can reach.<\/p>\n \nSince the beta launched in February, capabilities have expanded at remarkable speed. What began with basic messaging quickly evolved into commercial availability with support for images and audio clips and, just months later, expanded to power data<\/a> across 34 popular apps such as WhatsApp with voice and video chats, AllTrails, AccuWeather, CalTopo, X and T-Life, with more on the way. Today, more than 150,000 people rely on T-Satellite every day to navigate, stay informed, share locations and communicate in ways that were never before possible.<\/p>\n \nT-Satellite is also helping to save lives nearly every day, providing a vital lifeline with more than half a million messages sent during this year\u2019s natural disasters. It enables people outside coverage gaps to reach those who need help and ensures that critical communication gets through when it matters most. Because T-Satellite has proven essential for emergency connectivity, T-Mobile rolled out free Text to 911<\/a> on all compatible devices \u2014 even for AT&T and Verizon customers \u2014 so everyone can access help, no matter how far they roam.<\/p>\n T-Mobile Upgraded the Switching Experience<\/b><\/p>\n \nT-Mobile unveiled its next big move, Switching Made Easy<\/a>, a fast, smart and stress-free way for AT&T and Verizon customers to switch to the Un-carrier in 15 minutes<\/a> through T-Life or at T-Mobile.com. Switchers get the freedom to choose a new phone up to 90 days after making the move and can even have new devices delivered the same day through DoorDash. It\u2019s never been easier for people to get the best plan for their needs, pick a new phone and keep their number because convenience and choice always win.<\/p>\n Friday Night 5G Lights Lit Up Small-Town Pride<\/b><\/p>\n \nIn Dierks, Arkansas, with a population of just 900, Dierks High School<\/a> earned eternal bragging rights as residents rallied nearly 2 million votes nationwide to win T-Mobile\u2019s Friday Night 5G Lights competition. The town won a $1 million stadium upgrade, a new Gronk Fitness weight room, a consultation with stadium experience experts and a 2026 tailgate celebration after scoring nationwide attention with big names like former NFL running back Darren McFadden<\/a> and comedians like Larry the Cable Guy<\/a> cheering Dierks on. With Patrick Mahomes and Rob Gronkowski (aka Gronk) as program ambassadors, Friday Night 5G Lights celebrates hometown pride, teamwork and the power of America\u2019s Best Network to create unforgettable experiences on and off the field.<\/p>\n Powered the Moments That Move Sports Forward<\/b><\/p>\n \nWhether it\u2019s small-town Friday nights or the biggest stages in sports, T-Mobile showed up wherever the action happened. Its 5G network powered seamless connectivity, event operations and immersive fan experiences at the Ryder Cup<\/a>, PGA Championship<\/a> and KPMG Women\u2019s PGA Championship<\/a>, helped SailGP<\/a> teams use AI to read wind shifts in real time and brought innovation to the MLB All-Star Game<\/a> with the first-ever Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system. At the Las Vegas Grand Prix<\/a>, T-Mobile 5G drove real-time insights and performance. And to top it off, T-Mobile for Business was named the Official Telecommunications Services Provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games<\/a>, a testament to how the Un-carrier is redefining the way people experience sports.<\/p>\n \nWell, there you have it \u2014 the year the best network, best value and best experience in wireless showed everyone how it\u2019s done.
