T-Mobile delivers more wireless choice and
competition across America and more than doubles footprint in large
national retailers with presence in 2,300 Walmart stores and on
Walmart.com, bringing greater access to America’s largest, fastest
and most reliable 5G network
What’s the news: T-Mobile and Metro by
T-Mobile will soon be available in over 2,300 Walmart locations and
on Walmart.com, a move that more than doubles the Un-carrier's
presence in large national retailers.
Why it matters: More customers in more places across
America will have more choices when it comes to wireless service.
T-Mobile is expanding its 5G network to bring fast, reliable and
affordable wireless service across the country while also helping
Americans get access to the latest products, services and
technology.
Who it’s for: Anyone who wants great value, choice and 5G
access included in their wireless plan.
When the Un-carrier says '5G for all,' they mean it. Today,
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced it is expanding its retail
presence for T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile by launching in 2,300
Walmart stores and on Walmart.com. Starting Oct. 18, the new
shopping locations will more than double the Un-carrier’s footprint
in large national retailers, giving more customers in more places
more choice when it comes to choosing a wireless provider and
increasing access to America’s largest, fastest and most reliable
5G network.
“In many parts of the country, limited competition when it comes
to wireless service leaves some people with few options for plans
or access to the benefits of 5G,” said Jon Freier, Executive Vice
President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. “5G for All means T-Mobile is
bringing real choice and competition in wireless to many Americans.
And even though online shopping continues to grow, we know that
retail stores remain one of the primary places where wireless
customers pick up devices and service. We’re working to expand our
retail footprint across the country to meet more people in more
places every day.”
“T-Mobile is a top wireless provider and one that we know our
customers are going to be excited to shop in our stores and on
Walmart.com,” said Mehrdad Akbar, Vice President of Wireless
Services, Walmart U.S. “We are thrilled to add T-Mobile and Metro
by T-Mobile to our assortment and feel that it’s yet another way we
are delivering the best products and services to our customers to
help them save money and live better.”
Starting Oct. 18, anyone will be able to shop Metro by T-Mobile
displays in select Walmart stores and through Walmart.com for
smartphones, including affordable 5G phones, and three options for
unlimited monthly rate plans all on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G
network. After choosing the device and plan that works best for
them, customers can then activate online whenever is convenient and
immediately begin to enjoy all the benefits of being a Metro
customer. All Metro by T-Mobile plans in Walmart include unlimited
talk, text and 5G data with Scam Shield protection and taxes and
fees included. Don’t need a new device? Customers can also purchase
just a Metro by T-Mobile SIM at Walmart, swap it into their
eligible device and activate online.
And starting Nov. 1, you will also be able to shop for T-Mobile
devices and plans, including Magenta MAX, the Un-carrier’s best
plan, with smartphone data that won’t slow down based on how much
you use. Magenta MAX customers get great Un-carrier benefits like
Netflix on Us, unlimited hotspot with 40GB of high-speed data,
taxes and fees included and Scam Shield Premium. And now, all
Magenta plan customers, Magenta MAX included, get a year of Apple
TV+ for free! Customers can chat in-store with experts to decide
what Un-carrier plan is best for them and walk out the same day
with a new 5G device and unlimited 5G access.
T-Mobile is rapidly building out a 5G network that covers nearly
everyone in the country; and brings fast, reliable wireless service
across the country and delivers greater access to the latest
wireless products, services and technology. Already, T-Mobile’s
Extended Range 5G covers 305 million people across 1.7 million
square miles — bigger in size than both of the Carriers’ 5G
networks combined. 165 million of those people are covered with
Ultra Capacity 5G, which can deliver faster speeds to more people
than any other provider. T-Mobile is on track to have Ultra
Capacity 5G deployed nationwide, covering 200 million people, by
end of year.
This expansion into national retailers like Walmart underscores
T-Mobile’s commitment to bring wireless competition and access to
everyone in America. Beyond greatly increasing access to 5G, the
Un-carrier gave everyone in America the opportunity to get a free
5G smartphone with trade in of ANY working old phone, and unleashed
T-Mobile Home Internet, a new broadband service available to nearly
10 million rural households. In addition, T-Mobile has committed to
create 7,500 new jobs, build hundreds of new stores and is
investing $25 million into small town revitalization projects
through the T-Mobile Hometown Grant program.
