Title: T-Mobile Completes UScellular Acquisition Post by: HCK on August 04, 2025, 04:05:05 pm T-Mobile Completes UScellular Acquisition
T-Mobile has completed its acquisition of UScellular's wireless operations, T-Mobile announced today (https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-closes-uscellular-acquisition). T-Mobile paid $4.3 billion for UScellular, in a deal that included UScellular's wireless customers, stores, and 30 percent of its cellular spectrum. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951944" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2024/05/T-Mobile-Generic-Feature-Pink-1.jpg" alt="" width="2500" height="1406" /> T-Mobile announced the acquisition (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/05/28/tmobile-uscellular-acquisition/) back in May 2024, but it was contingent on regulatory approval. According to Reuters, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the merger (https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/society-equity/fcc-approves-two-t-mobile-deals-after-wireless-carrier-drops-dei-programs-2025-07-11/) in mid-July after T-Mobile ended its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. T-Mobile sent the FCC a letter [PDF (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/10709912829018/1)] with a promise to end DEI on July 9, and the deal was approved two days later. T-Mobile said that it was eliminating its DEI-related policies "not just in name, but in substance." According to T-Mobile, the UScellular acquisition is a "big win for customers." Existing UScellular customers will be incorporated into the T-Mobile network. While UScellular users can keep their plans for the time being, T-Mobile will begin allowing them to the transition to T-Mobile unlimited plans "as networks and systems are integrated." T-Mobile previously acquired MetroPCS and Sprint. The MetroPCS acquisition was completed in 2013, and the Sprint acquisition was completed in 2020.<div class="linkback">Tag: T-Mobile (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/t-mobile/)</div> This article, "T-Mobile Completes UScellular Acquisition (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/01/t-mobile-completes-uscellular-acquisition/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/t-mobile-completes-uscellular-acquisition.2462630/) in our forums Source: T-Mobile Completes UScellular Acquisition (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/01/t-mobile-completes-uscellular-acquisition/) |
