As one of the world’s biggest mobile operators, T-Mobile International offers its customers the latest technologies and modern multimedia services.
Since it was formed in December 1999, T-Mobile International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, has established itself as one of the world’s leading mobile operators.
The development of new technologies and user-centric complete services have enabled the T-Mobile Group to enhance its position each year. The company operates in Europe and the United States and currently has around 120 million customers (12/2007) – a figure that is growing all the time.
T-Mobile International was the first and only operator so far to launch a uniform transatlantic network based on the world’s most successful digital mobile communications standard GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications). T-Mobile’s companies were among the first mobile communications providers to use future-oriented technologies such as GPRS, UMTS (3G) and WLAN.
In order to offer its customers a customized mobile communications package abroad as well, T-Mobile International set up the FreeMove Alliance with other mobile communications companies in 2004. T-Mobile International's current partners include Orange, Telia Sonera and Telecom Italia Mobile.
Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile International have twelve direct and indirect shareholdings in mobile communications companies worldwide. The Group is the sole or majority shareholder in Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Austria, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland. Deutsche Telekom also has a stake in telecommunications companies in Hungary, Croatia, Slovakia, Macedonia and Montenegro.
As part of the Group's "Focus, fix and grow" strategy, T-Mobile International has set the goal of further expanding the global Mobile Communications business area.
