It does look as though when it comes to the year 2014 among tech companies in the U.S., T-Mobile has experienced a far more remarkable year than the rest of the pack – at least this is what CNN reported. For sure Apple had announced the yet unreleased Apple Watch as well as the growing Apple Pay system, while Microsoft is on a streak with their new CEO Satya Nadella taking over the reins in February earlier this year, while Netflix managed to solve whatever speed issues it was experiencing, and Facebook certainly set the instant messaging realm buzzing with their purchase of WhatsApp. T-Mobile did their fair share of actions in 2014, thanks to its “Un-carrier” marketing push that does away with pesky contracts so that folks can switch handsets all too frequently, with free international roaming to boot – and all of those were in 2013. This year, T-Mobile even offered to pay off rivals’ early termination fees, while making sure that streaming music will not eat into your data plan.
Apart from that, T-Mobile also began to give out seven-day loans of smartphones for free, while offering free in-flight connectivity to its customers, as well as allowing customers to roll over their unused gigabytes. This has seen T-Mobile add over 3.5 million customers this year alone, which puts it ahead of its rivals, and they also command approximately 18% of the wireless market, which is a 7% increase from early this year.
