T-Mobile claims U.S. network lead, unveils new DoorDash perk and T-Satellite launch date

BELLEVUE, Wash. — T-Mobile announced a new partnership with DoorDash, offering a free subscription to the DoorDash DashPass beginning July 8 for new and existing customers.

The service normally costs $10 per month, including free delivery and reduced service fees. With the news, it becomes the latest in a series of membership perks for the company’s wireless subscribers.

Earlier during a live-streamed event Monday, the company announced the upcoming launch date for its T-Satellite service, set for July 23. The service aims to eliminate wireless dead zones across roughly 500,000 square miles of U.S. territory with no traditional mobile coverage. 

T-Mobile also said it’s now able to claim overall U.S. network leadership over Verizon and AT&T (not only in 5G network coverage), based on what it described as the most exhaustive network test in U.S. history, by the network measurement company Ookla. 

“This day has been decades in the making,” said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert, speaking to a small group of media and a large crowd of enthusiastic employees at the company’s Tech Experience 5G Hub, a short drive from its headquarters.

It’s the latest stage in the company’s broader resurgence. As of March 2025, T-Mobile reported a total 130.9 million customer connections, including 1.3 million postpaid net additions and 495,000 postpaid phone additions in the first quarter, more than any other U.S. carrier.
