Subject: What a week!

 

Hi Team,

 

What an awesome week. Let me start with Q1 earnings because they SO represent the health of our business and all the great work our entire team is doing—work that has made it possible for us to deliver on this week’s other big announcement. :-)

 

Turns out changing wireless for the good of the customer is also “good business”! We reported record results in the first quarter of 2018 with industry-leading customer growth, best-ever service revenues, strong profitability, and RECORD-LOW postpaid phone churn. MetroPCS kicked ass again with impressive prepaid numbers, solidifying our leadership. I’m especially proud of the churn piece, because it goes to show that we do RIGHT by our customers. We are CUSTOMER OBSESSED—and our customers know it.

 

And—oh, yeah—after much speculation, on Sunday we announced our definitive agreement with Sprint to form a larger, stronger, and better-scaled competitor! I can tell you firsthand that our incredible Un-carrier story came up again and again during talks. At the end of the day, this week’s news is just one more chapter in a story all of you are writing.

 

As John said on Monday’s Town Hall, we’ve worked hard to gain customer trust, passion, and excitement over the last five years as the Un-carrier—and you can BET that We Won’t Stop! In fact, this will set us up to put our Un-carrier strategy into overdrive with lower prices, unmatched value, and more competition in wireless, video, and broadband.

 

This combination will enable us to create a network that’s unprecedented—the world’s most advanced 5G network. It is going to have mind-blowing scale and capacity—to improve all of our digital lives in ways we can’t even predict. This combination sets us up to SUPERCHARGE the Un-carrier and to quickly deliver the only Nationwide 5G network with BOTH the breadth and depth needed to offer the kind of capacity and performance that American consumers want and need in the 5G era!

 

This is a huge opportunity for our team and I know we’re ready to get it all done! For now, let’s stay focused. It’s “business as usual” (as if there was anything “usual” about our business!). One more thing: Don’t worry too much about any initial skeptical reactions to our announcement. This is huge, complex news, and overall it’s landing extremely well. Our job is to show them with action, like we always have. You can always see the latest information by heading over to T-Nation.

 

And as if all of that wasn’t enough, we also visited the amazing North Central team in Chicago during the #UnstoppableTour. What a fired-up team, #NCredible! Fired-up like we all should be right now.

 

Amazing things are happening across our company, and they are ALL because of the Un-carrier brand that each us creates by being customer-obsessed every day. Thank you.

 



 

The Un-carrier, Supercharged.

 

Are You With Us?
