T-Mobile, MetroPCS Merger Very Close → Re: Probably cheaper to buy MetroPCS than to build out

and don't forget those added customers also will add more money to their bottom line and can move them up higher on the list in terms of size. I'm surpised they haven't bought any MVNOs, especially the ones that are on their network, the same as Sprint did with Boost and VM-USA

Simple Mobile was recently bought out by América Móvil the parent company of Tracphone so Tmobile can't buy them out now.

Boost actually was not part of Nextel. Boost was owned by another company and just an MVNO, they operate in other countries just as VM does. Sprint didn't take Boost until recently.
