About T-Mobile
T-Mobile is one of the four major US network operators, building and running its own nationwide cellular network rather than leasing access from another company. It owns spectrum, operates towers, and sells wholesale network access to many smaller carriers. T-Mobile is known for its "Un-carrier" approach and its large 5G footprint, which is the widest of the three nationwide networks.
You can get T-Mobile's coverage for less through independent MVNOs like US Mobile, and Tello, or through T-Mobile's own brands Metro by T-Mobile and Mint Mobile.
