ARPU for prepaid and postpaid wireless subscribers of Sprint Corporation 2012-2019
How does Sprint compare to competitors?
Overall the monthly price for a mobile contract in the United States has declined over the past 15 years from more than 50 U.S. dollars to less than 40 U.S. dollars. All of the major mobile carriers in the United States – AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile – have managed to keep their average ARPU for mobile postpaid contracts at 40 U.S. dollars or more though over the last few years. Of those four major service providers AT&T and Verizon are the biggest ones both in terms of revenue and number of subscribers.Sprint is currently in fourth place having fallen behind T-Mobile, which has been on a growth path in the United States. The planned merger between T-Mobile and Sprint, approved by regulatory agencies in 2019, is set to reshape the market though and will create a third major competitor for AT&T and Verizon in the wireless market.
