Introduction

Wireless carriers are constantly jockeying for share of port-ins (also known as SOPI,

which is the percentage of overall subscribers who are porting in their number to a new wireless

carrier) and overall market share. The three main competitors in this space are Verizon, T-

Mobile, and AT&T. Earlier this year, and after their merger with Sprint, T-Mobile announced

that it overtook AT&T and became the second largest carrier in the U.S. “T-Mobile US Inc. said

it vaulted ahead of rival AT&T Inc. in the race for wireless customers to become the country’s

second-largest cellphone carrier” (Fitzgerald, 2020). Competition in the wireless space has

always been fierce. Due to this, there is little practical difference between the three main

competitors. They each have a nationwide network (although the advancement of 5G does pose

challenges relative to speed to market), similar rate plans and offerings, the same devices, and

sizeable retail footprints.

The biggest differentiator ultimately comes down to customer experience. Fortunately

for T-Mobile, it has been the dominant player in this space for quite some time. “T-Mobile

snags a record-breaking high score (AGAIN) from J.D. Power for Full-Service Wireless

Customer Care. That’s the sixth time in a row and the TWENTIETH time overall that the Un-

carrier beats the Carriers in their segment” (BusinessWire, 2020). Although T-Mobile is the

leader in this space and has a tremendous growth trajectory, it does have some opportunities to

improve its customer centric processes. Specifically, they are too reliant on their retail

distribution for servicing their customer base, which is even more problematic due to the

COVID-19 pandemic. T-Mobile’s best bet would be to revaluate their customer flow processes

and improving quality by using the Six Sigma philosophy, with an end goal of future fitting the

organization as well as adapting to the current retail climate.
