John Stevens, Vice President, Small Markets & Rural Areas, T-Mobile
Opening even more stores in Texas continues to be a great way for T-Mobile to build relationships with our customers. This is especially true in smaller and more rural communities where we’re opening doors for the very first time. Our strategy of meeting wireless consumers where they live, work, and play helps us to establish closer connections with them while also enabling us to tap into the local workforce. We just couldn’t be more excited about our growth here in Texas and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact across the state.

The Texas Association of Business welcomes T-Mobile 's continued investment in the Lone Star State. The announcement that T-Mobile has invested in locating retail stores this year in Texas, as well as its proposed investment in additional stores next year, is great news for Texas consumers and businesses. T-Mobile currently employs more than 7,000 Texans and the additional retail jobs are evidence of the excellent business climate that TAB advocates for in Texas is working.
Jennifer Silveira, SVP, Network, South Region, T-Mobile
Everything is bigger in Texas, including T-Mobile - with expanded coverage, faster speeds and more reliable service for customers across the Lone Star state. From the High Plains to South Texas, and the Rio Grande to the Gulf Coast, T-Mobile’ commitment to enhancing its network in Texas is evident in recent upgrades not only where people live work and play but at some of the state’s most important and iconic sporting venues, transportation hubs and college and universities.
