Not to be outdone by Vodafone, T-Mobile is a major mobile corporation whose subsidiaries and affiliates serve close to 90 million customers across the world.

Owned by Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile International -is a major part of the Deutsche Telekom business. T-Mobile International operates mobile/cellular companies in the UK, USA, Poland, Czech Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.

T-Mobile International is a telecommunication powerhouse in the true sense of the word. The story of T-Mobile in the UK dates back to 2002 when the One 2 One group was acquired and through the acquisition, formally put T-Mobile on the road to success within the UK mobile communications industry.
Boasting the world's largest GPRS footprint, which covers 27 countries T -Mobile is truly a global player. T-Mobile UK has the fastest 3G network, which run at speeds of 1.8Mb per second and cover close to 85% of the UK population. In a groundbreaking deal recently signed– T Mobile has taken further steps to solidify and enhance its 3g offerings through collaboration with the network operator named 3 UK.The result of this deal, is that the combined 3G network will be the most comprehensive coverage for Britain and Europe as a whole. This is a huge step forward for the 3G broadband sector because it will accelerate the provision of new high speed services while at same time achieves serious cost benefits for the 3G operators.

Other network carriers are taking note. Splitting costs to deliver true mobile broadband services is a smart way for networks to share the cost of the hardware (for example mobile masts) while at the same time enabling companies to meet the increasing demand for internet services on the mobile device.

In 2007, T-Mobile UK picked up top accolades at the mobile awards and won the consumer mobile operator of the year. It has been this consistent focus on the customer that has enabled T-Mobile UK to become a key UK mobile phone operator.
