As the dust begins to settle from this weeks announcement that AT&T has bailed on their attempt to acquire T-Mobile, many of us are still left wondering what the future has in store. Yesterday, Sprint quickly threw in their two cents and praised the USJD for blocking the deal.
Magenta Chief Operations Officer, Jim Alling released the following statement today:
Dear T-Mobile Customers:
By now I am sure you have seen media reports that AT&T and Deutsche Telekom (DT) have mutually decided to terminate their agreement for AT&T to acquire T-Mobile USA. This announcement effectively ends the acquisition process launched March 20.
What does this mean for T-Mobile USA customers? Our focus is unchanged: make the latest mobile products and services affordable for everyone.
And there are many reasons to choose T-Mobile as your wireless provider:
- Great Value. We’re offering our best plan ever – 2 lines for $49.99 each that includes voice, text and data (including 2GB at full-speed) on each line with a new 2-year agreement. We also now offer aMonthly4G no annual contract plan that gives you unlimited talk, text, and web (including 100MB at full-speed) for $50.
- Compelling Products. We offer a great line-up of 4G smartphones. We continue to rapidly expand our selection of amazing and affordable 4G smartphones, tablets and other devices that make mobile internet service easy and affordable. This holiday, we have cutting edge smartphones including the 42 Mbps-capable HTC Amaze™ 4G and the Samsung Galaxy S™ II. In January, we will begin selling the Lumia 710, the first Windows Phone from Nokia for as low as $49.99 after mail-in rebate with a 2-year agreement on a qualifying plan
- America’s Largest 4G Network – now faster than ever. Whether you need driving instructions that are fast enough to keep up with your car, or want to stream a full-length movie uninterrupted, our 4G network delivers. We have expanded our 4G coverage to more than 200 million people in 208 markets and doubled speeds for nearly 180 million Americans in 163 markets.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, we appreciate your business and we will continue to focus on earning your loyalty every day.
Regards,
Jim Alling

LOL! The first sentence in their 3rd reason sounds like a commercial.
like this gives us any hope for the future, its strictly advertising, ass holes, why dont they spend it for a tv ad
The problem with att is they are a Mega company. I say sell to Dish Network. Cut your losses and gain great customer focused support in the process.
Um, okay…so uh, what about the $4 Bil? Would have been nice to hear the phrases “We plan to”, and “continues expansion”, rather than telling us what they already have.
Because the $4 billion is not T-Mobile’s. They do not get a single penny of it. It all goes to Deutsche Telekom, their parent company, who plans to spend it all on their European business.
