T-Mobile's Legere: We don't need to make a deal to be successful

T-Mobile US said it added 1.47 million total net new subscribers in the second quarter, including 908,000 branded postpaid net adds.

While T-Mobile didn't report quite as many postpaid net adds in the period as Verizon Wireless, it did have more total new subscriber additions and it showed strong growth in phone subscriber additions.

T-Mobile also said it now expects to add between 3 million and 3.5 million branded postpaid net subscribers in 2014, up from its previous estimate between 2.8 million and 3.3 million. T-Mobile has added 2.23 million branded postpaid customers so far.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere concluded: "The company is not in need of doing something [in terms of a deal] to be successful in the short to medium term."
