Jan 29 (Reuters) - T-Mobile forecast annual

wireless subscriber growth above Wall Street estimates on

Wednesday, after holiday-quarter promotions and deals boosted

demand for its affordable premium 5G plans with streaming

bundles.

The company expects postpaid net customer additions to be

between 5.5 million and 6 million in full-year 2025, compared

with Wall Street's expectation of 2.7 million, according to

FactSet.

T-Mobile's Go5G Next and Go5G Plus have resonated with

customers as they bundle high-speed internet with popular

services such as Netflix ( NFLX ) and Apple TV+.

This led to industry-leading postpaid phone net additions of

903,000 in the fourth quarter, beating a FactSet estimate of

858,500 additions.

Black Friday deals and the launch of the AI-powered iPhone

series further boosted demand for American wireless carriers,

driving increased customer activity in the last three months of

2024.

The company has expanded its customer base by improving

coverage and targeting smaller markets and rural areas. T-Mobile

is offering fixed wireless access as an alternative internet

solution in regions where fiber optic infrastructure is either

sparse or unavailable.

T-Mobile's total revenue for the three months to December

stood at $21.87 billion, above analysts' estimate of $21.31

billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.
