T‑Mobile delivered an 8% jump in 2025 service revenue to $71.3 billion, while core adjusted EBITDA rose 7% to $33.9 billion and free cash flow hit $18.0 billion. The carrier added 3.3 million post‑paid phones and 7.8 million total post‑paid lines, keeping churn under 1% and boosting ARPU. Its low‑ and mid‑band spectrum, especially the 2.5 GHz “Goldilocks” band, underpins a network rated best in speed and quality by multiple firms. Despite a flat $88.5 billion debt load, the debt‑to‑EBITDA ratio sits at 2.8× and is projected to improve as earnings grow.
