More about T-Mobile
The mobile world has been changing rapidly in recent years and continues to do so. New technologies are driving innovative voice and data solutions for businesses and consumers. At the same time, one-product national businesses are moving into a complex multi-product service world. Just ten years ago, national operators with almost no international presence dominated their respective markets.
One of the global market leaders
T-Mobile International is one of the world’s leading companies in mobile communications. As one of Deutsche Telekom’s three strategic business units, T-Mobile concentrates on the most dynamic markets in Europe and the United States. By the end of 2005, more than 86 million customers are served in the nine T-Mobile markets. T-Mobile is a partner of FreeMove, an alliance formed by four of Europe’s leading mobile companies - Orange, Telefónica Móviles, TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) and T-Mobile - to help their customers communicate as easily while travelling abroad as they do at home.
Global player in mobile communications
T-Mobile International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, was established in December 1999. Since then, it has positioned itself as one of the largest international mobile communications carriers. It is the first to operate a trans-Atlantic mobile network based on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), the world’s most successful digital wireless standard. T-Mobile subsidiaries and affiliates were among the first operators worldwide to use future-oriented technologies like GPRS, UMTS (3G) and W-LAN.
