T-Mobile loses postpaid customers, doesn’t add many prepaid

For what seems like forever now, T-Mobile USA has added more prepaid subscribers than postpaid subscribers each quarter. That didn’t change in the first quarter of 2010, but the overall numbers are far poorer than they have been in recent periods. Just like their closes rival Sprint, T-Mobile lost a net 77,000 subscribers in the quarter. Those include 117,000 postpaid subscriber losses against 41,000 prepaid additions. Those additions include MVNO subscribers, so the number of T-Mobile branded prepaid subscribers is probably a bit lower. This is bad news overall for T-Mobile. They’re supposedly going to announce new prepaid plans that will go into effect on May 16. It would appear that tomorrow is the final day to make said announcement before we consider this delayed.
