T-Mobile boosted by prepaid in the third quarter.

T-Mobile. In the first half of the year the company lost 170,000 subscribers while its rivals continued to gain. In the third quarter there was something of a turnaround, and it was mostly on the prepaid end. While T-Mobile lost 60,000 contract subscribers, it gained 197,000 prepaid subscribers. That counts both the company’s core unit and MVNOs. The fourth quarter could be even better for T-Mobile’s prepaid arm. In October it introduced monthly plans with data, and recently added an Android handset to its prepaid lineup. Via RCR Wireless.]]>
