T-Mobile's growth rate in 2024 dwarfed the competition

The three big mobile carriers in the USA, i.e., AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, are in constant competition. Right now, they're trying to snag as many Galaxy S25 pre-order customers as possible, but as far as 2024 is concerned, T-Mobile dwarfed its competition in one metric.

The three big US-based carriers recently revealed their financial results for 2024, and one metric they included in their reports was “postpaid phone net adds.” It reveals how many new postpaid phone subscribers a carrier has added to its network.

In 2024, T-Mobile recorded the highest number of postpaid phone net additions to its network (via Android Authority). The financial reports reveal that T-Mobile welcomed nearly twice as many new subscribers as AT&T and a staggering 37.8x more than Verizon.

T-Mobile: 3,100,000 new postpaid phone net adds in 2024.
AT&T: 1,653,000 new postpaid phone net adds in 2024
Verizon: 82,000 new postpaid phone net adds in 2024.

In other news, T-Mobile is doing right by its Galaxy S24 series buyers by enabling Starlink's satellite emergency messaging services. The carrier announced the addition of SpaceX's Starlink a few months ago, and earlier this year, the first Galaxy S24 devices have started benefitting from this technology.

AT&T offers some of the most attractive Galaxy S25 pre-order benefits, including a $0 monthly cost for the base model with an eligible trade-in.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
