America’s First Nationwide 5G Network Is
Here
T-Mobile lights up the first nationwide 5G
network, first nationwide prepaid 5G with Metro by T-Mobile and
first 5G devices that work nationwide, ushering in a new era of 5G
accessibility and affordability in first step toward 5G for All
with New T-Mobile.
This holiday season, get a FREE 5G phone when
you switch to T-Mobile.
What’s the news: America gets its first nationwide 5G
network today, covering more than 200 million people and more than
1 million square miles, marking a critical first step and
foundation for the New T-Mobile.
Why it matters: 5G on 600 MHz spectrum goes far beyond
the limitations of the carriers’ 5G. With clear 600 MHz spectrum
reserved for 5G, T-Mobile is uniquely positioned to deliver 5G that
covers more people in more places. Together with Sprint, the New
T-Mobile has even bigger plans to supercharge 5G, with a broad and
deep network for all Americans.
Who it’s for: Early adopters looking for a cost effective
5G phone that will work indoors and out, across the country.
It’s on! T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today lit up the country’s
first nationwide 5G network, covering more than 200 million people
and more than 5,000 cities and towns all across the country.
Today’s launch immediately catapults T-Mobile into the leadership
position as the country’s biggest 5G network, covering more than 1
million square miles, much of that in rural America. But today is
just the start. If the merger with Sprint closes, the New T-Mobile
will be able to build on this foundation to deliver
transformational broad and deep 5G for All.

T-Mobile execs have fun lighting up America’s first nationwide
5G network
Two new 5G superphones, the exclusive OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren
and the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G, are available for pre-order
today at www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones and in T-Mobile stores
on December 6. Both 5G superphones tap into the Un-carrier’s 600
MHz 5G network where available and T-Mobile’s advanced nationwide
LTE network elsewhere. Plus, both are ready to use Sprint’s 5G
spectrum (2.5 GHz) when available from the New T-Mobile if the
merger closes. To celebrate the launch, customers can get the
OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren for FREE with 24 bill credits when they
switch to T-Mobile and trade in an eligible phone … or, get a
Note10+ 5G for FREE with 24 bill credits when they buy another and
add a line (two for new customers).
Metro by T-Mobile will launch America’s first nationwide prepaid
5G on December 6. Because what good is advanced technology if not
everyone — absolutely everyone — can get it?
“5G is here on a nationwide scale. This is a HUGE step towards
5G for All,” said John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. “While Dumb and
Dumber focus on 5G for the (wealthy) Few, launching in just a
handful of cities — and forcing customers into their most expensive
plans to get 5G — we’re committed to building broad, deep
nationwide 5G that people and businesses can access at no extra
cost with the New T-Mobile … and today is just the start of that
journey.”
T-Mobile’s 5G network is not just bigger, it’s better. Here’s
how:
- It’s real! T-Mobile’s 5G is based on real,
standards-based 5G. Verizon first launched their own made-up
version of 5G (5GTF), and AT&T started in 5G by deceiving
customers with fake “5GE” which is just LTE re-labeled.
- Covers rural America … a LOT of rural America.
T-Mobile’s network covers more than 60% of the population across
more than 1 million square miles, much of that in rural America.
Verizon and AT&T only work in parts of some cities and won’t
say how many square miles (yards? feet?) they cover.
- Covers people … a LOT of people. T-Mobile’s 5G network
covers 200 million people and more than 5,000 towns. That’s over
20,000% more towns than Verizon and AT&T, who won’t even say
how many people they currently cover … because the real number has
got to be so embarrassing. Verizon 5G only works in “parts” of
outdoor areas of 18 cities and in a few stadiums, and AT&T 5G
works for businesses in 21 cities and for consumers in parts of 5
cities later this year.
- Works indoors. T-Mobile’s 5G goes through walls.
Verizon’s 5G gets blocked by things like walls, windows and
leaves.
- Available for everyone. Anyone with a capable device can
get 5G from T-Mobile, including businesses and consumers as well as
postpaid and prepaid customers.
- Doesn’t cost more. 5G access costs the same as LTE at
T-Mobile. Verizon forces customers to pay $10 more per month for 5G
or use a more expensive plan. AT&T just forces customers into
their most expensive plans.
“The carriers have been over-hyping 5G for years now, setting
expectations beyond what they can deliver. When Verizon says
#5GBuiltRight, they must mean sparse, expensive and limited to
outdoors only,” said Neville Ray, T-Mobile President of Technology.
“Meanwhile at T-Mobile, we built 5G that works for more people in
more places, and this is just the start. With the New T-Mobile,
we’ll see 5G speeds follow the same path as LTE, increasing
exponentially over time. Plus, real broad and deep 5G will unleash
whole new categories of innovation that will touch almost every
area of the economy. The 5G future is bright, and it starts
today.”
Of course, T-Mobile has published an interactive, zoomable 5G
map at www.t-mobile.com/5Gmap, so customers can see exactly where
they’ll get 5G coverage, down to their neighborhoods. For months
(231 days, to be exact), Verizon refused to publish 5G coverage
maps, until the Un-carrier forced them to do so with a relentless
VerHIDEzon.com campaign aimed at ensuring greater carrier
transparency.
T-Mobile is starting by building a 5G foundation with broad
nationwide access for more people in more places. Together with
Sprint, the New T-Mobile will have the ability to complete the
picture, adding critical depth with mid-band spectrum for broad
coverage and performance as well as millimeter wave spectrum for
hotspot-like coverage in dense urban areas. Only this combination
will deliver a 5G network with both breadth and depth, something
the carriers simply cannot do as quickly.
5G Superphones
The Un-carrier isn’t holding back when it comes to making 5G
more accessible and affordable. Next year, T-Mobile expects to
launch more than 15 new 5G smartphones with a variety of price
points and features. For those ready to get 5G now, customers who
switch to T-Mobile can get the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren for FREE
with 24 monthly bill credits when they trade in an eligible phone.
Existing customers can get up to $300 off the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G
McLaren or up to HALF off the Galaxy Note10+ 5G via trade-in credit
and rebate when they trade in their eligible phone. Plus, customers
with good credit can get a free Note10+ 5G with 36 monthly bill
credits when they buy one and add a line (two for new
customers).
OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren
The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren device is exclusive to T-Mobile
customers and sports a 6.67” Fluid QHD+ Display with a 90 Hz
refresh rate. It comes packed with three rear cameras, a 4085 mAh
battery and Warp Charge 30T. In collaboration with McLaren, the
device focuses on innovation and premium design with papaya orange
accents. T-Mobile customers can get the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren
in 256GB in Papaya Orange for $37.50/month ($0 down, FRP: $899.99)

no-interest Equipment Installment Plan.
Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G
The Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G touts a 6.8” Cinematic Infinity
display, four rear cameras and a 4300 mAh battery. It comes
equipped with an enhanced S Pen and Wireless PowerShare
capabilities. T-Mobile customers can get the Galaxy Note10+ 5G in
256GB in Aura Glow or Aura Black for $36.12/month ($0 down, FRP:
