- T-Mobile US Inc first-quarter revenue and profit jumped from a year earlier, beating Wall Street’s estimates, the company said on Thursday, citing competitively priced wireless plans that enabled it to substantially boost the number of net new phone subscribers who pay a monthly bill.
T-Mobile, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier by subscriber count, is awaiting approval of its $26 billion deal to buy smaller rival Sprint Corp, seeking to beef up to compete with bigger rivals Verizon Communications Inc and AT&T Inc. Net income surged to $908 million, or $1.06 per share, in the three months ended March 31, from $671 million, or 78 cents per share, a year earlier.At a meeting on Wednesday, officials from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission questioned Sprint and T-Mobile executives about their contention that a merger will allow them to slash prices for wireless customers and other issues, according to a filing. The FCC and the U.S. Justice Department have yet to approve the deal.
The U.S. Justice Department has told T-Mobile and Sprint it has concerns about the merger in its current structure, sources told Reuters last week.Reporting by Akanksha Rana in Bengaluru and Sheila Dang in New York; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila and David Gregorio
