Overview

  • On August 1, 2025, T-Mobile finalized its $4.3 billion acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations, securing customers, stores, and 30 percent of the carrier’s spectrum.
  • The FCC approved the merger on July 11, two days after receiving T-Mobile’s formal pledge to dismantle its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
  • More than four million UScellular subscribers have begun migrating to T-Mobile’s network, retaining current plans while gaining the option to switch to unlimited offerings.
  • The deal transfers approximately 4,400 towers and extensive rural spectrum to T-Mobile, boosting connectivity in underserved areas without new infrastructure builds.
  • UScellular will rebrand its remaining network assets as Array Digital Infrastructure Inc., which will lease network access back to T-Mobile under a long-term agreement.
