Background of T-Mobile US
- T-Mobile US, Inc., is an American wireless network operator that conducts business under the global brand name T-Mobile.

- VoiceStream Wireless PCS provided wireless personal communication services (PCS) in 19 service areas which were defined by the FCC in several western and southwestern states which used the GSM digital wireless standard.
- The digital, urban service areas of VoiceStream Wireless complemented an analogue, rural service area which was marketed by Western Wireless under the Cellular One brand. In May 1999, Western Wireless spun off the VoiceStream Wireless division into VoiceStream Wireless Corporation.
- In 2000, VoiceStream Wireless completed the purchase of two regional GSM Carriers namely Omnipoint Corporation and Aerial Communications, Inc.

- In 2012, T-Mobile USA, Inc. merged with MetroPCS Communications while retaining the T-Mobile brand.
