  T-Mobile To Roll Out ‘Open Europe’ Plan for Business Customers

 New Unlimited Data Feature Offers Predictable Billing with Flat-rate Monthly
                                     Fee

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- July 17, 2012

T-Mobile USA, Inc. today introduced its new flat-rate T-Mobile^® Open Europe
unlimited data feature for business customers. Designed to address the
increasing demand for data, the costs associated with international data
roaming, and businesses’ desire for more predictable costs, the $50/line per
month T-Mobile Open Europe plan provides business customers with unlimited
data, including up to 500 MB full-speed data, within 28 European countries^1
with no international roaming tolls. The new T-Mobile Open Europe plan
complements the company’s existing portfolio of international offers and
solutions for business customers including: Wi-Fi Calling for Business™,
T-Mobile Global for Business™ and T-Mobile Global Corporate Access.

According to the Global Business Travel Association, American business
travelers are expected to take 437.9 million trips costing approximately
$265.5 billion by the end of this year. International outbound travel will
continue to drastically outpace domestic travel. GBTA expects U.S.-initiated
international business trips to hit 6.8 million trips in 2012^2. With this
kind of expected business travel and with data usage on the rise, CIOs and
decision makers are looking to address the challenges of international
mobility. At the top of this list is reducing or controlling the high costs
associated with international data roaming.

“Of the millions of international trips U.S. business travelers make each
year, a significant portion are made to European countries,” said Frank
Sickinger, vice president, business sales at T-Mobile USA. “For these
customers, our new T-Mobile Open Europe data feature dramatically reduces
costly international data roaming tolls, controls the risk of data roaming
‘bill shock’, and provides data connectivity required to conduct business from
London to Moscow – all for a predictable $50 monthly fee.”

The new T-Mobile Open Europe plan, available next month, advances T-Mobile’s
effort to support CIOs and IT decision makers as they navigate the challenges
of international mobility by offering a range of solutions.

  * With T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi Calling solutions, for example, business customers
    can avoid international roaming fees when accessing global hotspots and
    enhance coverage and data access in areas where a cellular network signal
    is limited or unavailable.
  * For additional savings on international voice and data roaming in more
    than 200 countries across the globe, T-Mobile offers its pay-per-use
    T-Mobile Global for Business plan for a low monthly access fee of $9.99
    per month per line.
  * Making it easier for CIOs and IT decision makers to manage mobile
    connections and containing international roaming costs, the T-Mobile
    Global Corporate Access solution offers easy, secure online access to
    corporate tools and resources from more than 700,000 domestic and
    international hotspots across the globe regardless of device manufacturer,
    platform or network. With a single login for up to five devices per
    subscriber, T-Mobile Global Corporate Access also provides predictable,
    unified billing and web-based management, integration with a corporate
    VPN, and real-time reporting.
