T-Mobile US proclaimed 2020 its best ever year for post-paid net additions, issuing preliminary results showing substantial gains despite Covid-19 (coronavirus) headwinds.
Net additions in 2020 stood at 5.6 million, with post-paid accounting for 5.5 million. Of this, 2.2 million were phone customers, with the remainder comprising other fields including tablet and IoT connections.
The operator ended 2020 with 102.1 million connections, a record high.
In Q4, net additions stood at 1.7 million, of which 1.6 million were post-paid connections with phone customers accounting for 824,000.
At an investor conference yesterday (6 January), CEO Mike Sievert (
