T-Mobile shows Q4 profit, Legere claims company is now a bigger carrier than Sprint as he looks on to 2015

It should come as no surprise that T-Mobile had a stellar year. Despite being told otherwise, both CEO John Legere and the company have been pushing an uncarrier approach to how it does business. From music streaming services not eating data to rollover data, the company has done a lot to sway public and consumer opinion. As such, it looks like the move has paid off as T-Mobile posted a fourth quarter profit of $101 million.

A year ago this time, the carrier posted a $20 million loss and since then the revenue for the company has risen to $8.15 billion. In a statement earlier today, Legere had this to say:

“2014 was the best year of growth in company history. Our Un-carrier moves helped us blow away the competition. The best is yet to come as the future looks bright in 2015.”

Also in the earnings report, Legere declared that T-Mobile was victorious in overtaking Sprint as the third largest carrier in the country. He stated that given the merge with MetroPCS and the addition of 13 million customers put the uncarrier at 55 million customers, a number that Legere claims Sprint had in the beginning of 2014, and has since lost. He also cites shoddy tactics by Sprint in their number claims and suggests that T-Mobile’s jump to third place will be clearer in a quarter or two.
