“These results are proof that doing right by customers is also good for shareholders. Not only are customers flocking to T-Mobile, but we’re also producing rock-solid financial results,” John Legere, President and CEO of T-Mobile, said in a press release.

During the fourth quarter, T-Mobile unveiled several promotional offers, including a free iPhone 7 offer with eligible trade-in around Black Friday. As a result, T-Mobile added 933,000 postpaid phone subscribers.

“The competition just doesn’t get that customers want to come first! That’s three years in a row that we’ve added more than 8 million customers and taken all of the postpaid phone growth in the industry. The Un-carrier revolution continues in 2017!”, Legere added.

The strong results of T-Mobile comes as Sprint’s 80 percent plus shareholder SoftBank being “open” to all options, including a deal with T-Mobile, given the prospects of U.S. regulators allowing four operators to consolidate to three.

Shares of T-Mobile closed Monday’s trading at $60.90.
