BELLEVUE, Wash., August 7, 2008 — T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile USA) today reported second quarter 2008 results. At the end of the quarter, T-Mobile USA had 31.5 million customers, adding 668,000 net new customers during the second quarter, OIBDA of $1.58 billion, up 14% compared to the second quarter of 2007, and blended churn of 2.7% consistent with the second quarter of 2007. The second quarter of 2008 is the first full quarter SunCom Wireless (SunCom) has been reflected in the results of T-Mobile USA. SunCom did not have a significant impact on T-Mobile USA’s first and second quarter 2008 consolidated metrics and results unless specifically stated below.
“T-Mobile continues to pursue new innovations to meet the pressing needs of our customers,” said Robert Dotson, President and CEO, T-Mobile USA. “In the quarter we went national with T-Mobile @Home, an affordable alternative to traditional landline

service made available at a time when customers are eager for new ways to stretch their dollars. We also introduced our new Unlimited Family Plan for customers craving to stay connected to people in ways that don’t put additional stress on the family budget.”
“With continued double-digit dollar growth in revenues and OIBDA, T-Mobile USA continues to be one of the leading growth drivers for Deutsche Telekom,” said René Obermann, Chief Executive Officer, Deutsche Telekom. “We remain excited about the future growth opportunities in the U.S., especially in mobile data as we look toward a national introduction of our new 3G network later this year.”
Customers
| • | In the second quarter of 2008, T-Mobile USA added 668,000 net new customers, down from 981,000 in the first quarter of 2008, not including 1.1 million customers acquired from SunCom, and 857,000 in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | The sequential fall in net new customers related primarily to higher contract churn, as explained below. Gross contract customer additions remained consistently strong sequentially. |
| • | Prepaid net additions (which consist of both traditional prepaid and FlexPay no-contract customers) were 143,000 in the second quarter of 2008, down from 248,000 in the first quarter of 2008 and 170,000 in the second quarter of 2007. Traditional prepaid customers fell in the second quarter of 2008 by approximately 160,000. This was more than offset by new customer additions and migrations to the FlexPay no-contract product, which continues to grow and attract large numbers of new customers. T-Mobile USA repositioned its prepaid business in the quarter, implementing new products and new dealer compensation programs. |
| • | Contract customer net additions remained proportionally strong in the second quarter of 2008 making up almost 80% of customer growth, consistent with the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007 which were 75% and 80%, respectively. |

| • | Blended churn, including both contract and prepaid customers, was 2.7% in the second quarter of 2008, slightly up from 2.6% in the first quarter of 2008 and in line with the second quarter of 2007. |

Revenue
| • | Service revenues, consisting of contract, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, rose to $4.85 billion in the second quarter of 2008, up from $4.57 billion in the first quarter of 2008, and up from $4.20 billion in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | The increase in service revenues year over year was primarily due to the growth in contract customers, including the first full quarter inclusion of SunCom customers in T-Mobile USA’s results. |
| • | Total revenues, including service, equipment, and other revenues were $5.47 billion in the second quarter of 2008, up from $5.19 billion in the first quarter of 2008 and $4.78 billion in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | The acquisition of SunCom, and its first full quarter consolidation in T-Mobile USA’s results, contributed $209 million to total revenues in the second quarter, compared to $86 million in the first quarter of 2008. |
ARPU
| • | Blended Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU” as defined in note 1 to the Selected Data, below) was $52 in the second quarter of 2008, up from $51 in the first quarter and down from $53 in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | Contract ARPU was $55 in the second quarter of 2008, in line with the first quarter of 2008 and down from $57 in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | Prepaid ARPU was $23 in the second quarter of 2008, up from $22 in the first quarter of 2008 and up from $19 in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | The increase in prepaid ARPU is due to the success of higher ARPU prepaid products, such as FlexPay no-contract. |
| • | Data services revenue, included in service revenues, was $810 million in the second quarter of 2008, representing 16.6% of blended ARPU, or $8.60 per customer, in line with 16.6% of blended ARPU, or $8.50 per customer in the first quarter of 2008, and 14.7% of blended ARPU, or $7.80 per customer in the second quarter of 2007. Data services revenue increased 31.5% year over year. |
| • | Growth in messaging revenue continued to be the most significant driver of data ARPU, as customers continue to move towards purchasing plans that include messaging. The total number of messages on the T-Mobile USA network increased to 41 billion in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 33 billion in the first quarter of 2008 and 18 billion in the second quarter of 2007. |

| • | The increase in CPGA compared to the first quarter of 2008 is primarily due to higher advertising expenses related to the promotion of new products released during the quarter. |
| • | The average cash cost of serving customers, Cash Cost Per User (“CCPU” as defined in note 3 to the Selected Data, below), was $25 per customer per month in the second quarter of 2008, the same as in both the first quarter of 2008 and second quarter of 2007. |
Capital Expenditures
| • | Cash capital expenditures (see note 7 to the Selected Data below) were $1,062 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared with $690 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $546 million in the second quarter of 2007. |
| • | The sequential increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to more cell sites being built in the quarter. |
| • | The year over year increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to the build out of T-Mobile USA’s 3G (UMTS / HSDPA) network. |
| • | T-Mobile USA continued its commitment to improve coverage in the second quarter of 2008, adding approximately 1,000 GSM/GPRS/EDGE new cell sites, bringing the total number of cell sites at the end of the quarter to 42,000. |

Since all companies do not calculate these figures in the same manner, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
| 1 | Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) represents the average monthly service revenue we earn from our customers. ARPU is calculated by dividing service revenues for the specified period by the average customers during the period, and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPU provides management with useful information to evaluate the recurring revenues generated from our customer base. |

Service revenues include contract, prepaid, and roaming and other service revenues, and do not include equipment sales and other revenues. Data services revenues is a component of service revenues. Within the consolidated financial statements below, other revenues include co-location rental income and wholesale revenues from the usage of our network in California, Nevada, and New York by AT&T customers, among other items, and are therefore not included in ARPU.
| 2 |
Contract customers and prepaid customers include FlexPaySM customers depending on the type of rate plan selected. FlexPay customers with a contract are included in contract customers, and FlexPay customers without a contract are included in prepaid customers. |
| 3 | The average cash cost of serving customers, or Cash Cost Per User (“CCPU”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and includes all network and general and administrative costs as well as the subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition. Subsidy loss unrelated to customer acquisition includes upgrade handset costs for existing customers offset by upgrade equipment revenues and other related direct costs. This measure is calculated as a per month average by dividing the total costs for the specified period by the average total customers during the period and further dividing by the number of months in the period. We believe that CCPU, which is a measure of the costs of serving a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. |
| 4 | Cost Per Gross Add (“CPGA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the costs of acquiring a new customer, consisting of customer acquisition costs plus the subsidy loss related to customer acquisition for the specified period, by gross customers added during the period. Subsidy loss related to customer acquisition consists primarily of the excess of handset and accessory costs over related revenues incurred to acquire new customers. We believe that CPGA, which is a measure of the cost of acquiring a customer, provides relevant and useful information and is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business. |
| 5. | Operating Income Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (“OIBDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as operating income before depreciation and amortization. In a capital-intensive industry such as wireless telecommunications, we believe OIBDA, as well as the associated percentage margin calculation, to be meaningful measures of our operating performance. OIBDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. We use OIBDA as an integral part of our planning and internal financial reporting processes, to evaluate the performance of our business by senior management and to compare our performance with that of many of our competitors. We believe that operating income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable to OIBDA. |
| 6. | OIBDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as OIBDA (as described in note 5 above) divided by total revenues less equipment sales. |
| 7 | Capital expenditures include amounts paid by T-Mobile USA for purchases of property, plant and equipment. |
| 8 | The covered population statistic represents T-Mobile USA’s GSM / GPRS / EDGE 1900 voice and data network coverage, combined with roaming and other agreements. |
| 9 | Data ARPU is defined as total data revenues from contract customers, prepaid customers, and other data revenues, divided by average contract and prepaid customers during the period. Wi-Fi revenues are shown as a component of service revenues. |
| 10 | Cell sites are defined as the total number of sites in service at the end of the period, excluding small low power, low gain access sites. A site is in service when all equipment is installed and the site is integrated into the network. |
