No Longer Counting PhonesThin moat

T-Mobile US (TMUS) — moat facet

T-Mobile stopped reporting phone additions, customers and ARPU in 2026; in 2025, half its phone-base growth was bought with UScellular.

The most important change in T-Mobile's reporting in years is what it stopped telling investors. The 10-K says "we will shift away from reporting total customers, including total postpaid, postpaid phone, prepaid, and broadband customers"1. From the first quarter of 2026 there are no postpaid phone net additions, no total customers, no postpaid phone ARPU and no prepaid ARPU, only postpaid accounts, account additions, account churn and ARPA.

T-Mobile postpaid phone net additions (thousands)3,12120192,21820202,91720213,09320223,08220233,07720243,2942025T-Mobile US Forms 10-K FY2019, FY2022 and FY2025; not reported from 2026
A series that ended with its best year.

The last phone figure was 3,294 thousand postpaid phone net additions in 20252. That number was the one the market watched for a decade; it was the measure on which T-Mobile beat its rivals.

What the change removes matters. Without phone additions an investor cannot see whether growth comes from new phone lines or from home broadband and tablets. Without prepaid ARPU there is no way to see the price trend in the business that is shrinking. Without total customers there is no direct way to compare T-Mobile's base with what it acquires. In 2025 the phone base grew 6,581 thousand, of which 3,287 thousand, about half, were UScellular customers34.

The company's argument is that the account, not the line, is how it now runs the business, and that argument has merit. Verizon's pages note the same change makes a phone-for-phone comparison harder.

The counts dropped include some that were moving the wrong way. Prepaid customers were 25,943 thousand at the end of 20255, and prepaid ARPU had fallen two years running6. Those trends will now be visible only through prepaid revenue.

What remains to watch is organic account growth. Postpaid accounts excluding acquired accounts grew about 3.3% in the year to June 20267; a figure below 2% would mean the change in reporting had arrived just as the growth it used to show was ending.

Moat trajectory: Narrowing

Fewer disclosed measures; organic account growth about 3.3%.

The number that tests this moat
Moat Explorer calc
Postpaid account growth excluding acquired accounts, latest quarter
About 3.3% year on year (34,700 thousand less 2,166 thousand acquired, against 31,502 thousand)

Organic growth on the measure T-Mobile still reports; below 2% would mean the old growth has ended.

How it's calculated: Postpaid accounts at 30 June 2026 less accounts acquired with UScellular, Metronet and others and Lumos, divided by accounts at 30 June 2025, minus one; Investor Factbook Q2 2026.
