T-Mobile just passed Sprint's subscriber count. Here's how it's growing.

T-Mobile (TMUS 0.55%) has officially passed Sprint (S) to become the United States' third-largest mobile carrier, but it's still well behind AT&T (T 1.17%) and Verizon (VZ 2.85%). T-Mobile has added over 1 million customers in each of the last nine quarters while Sprint is just barely treading water by adding tablet subscribers to make up for lost phone subscribers.

Here's how T-Mobile put Sprint in its rear view mirror -- and plans to continue grabbing customers from AT&T and Verizon.
