T2 Mobile Defies Odds: Registers Rare Subscriber Growth in July 2025 After Significant Decline
In a remarkable turn of events for the Nigerian telecom sector, T2 Mobile, formerly known as 9mobile, has announced a significant subscriber increase in July 2025. This marks a pivotal moment for the telco, which has faced a challenging decade, seeing its active user base plummet from over 22 million in 2015 to a mere 2.4 million by mid-2025 – representing a staggering loss of over 90% of its subscribers. However, the latest data from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) reveals a rare bright spot, with T2 Mobile gaining 290,601 new users, pushing its total subscriber count to approximately 2.7 million.
A Solitary Victory Amidst Industry Challenges
This growth is particularly noteworthy as T2 Mobile stands out as the sole operator to record gains during July 2025. During the same period, Nigeria’s major telecom players, including MTN, Airtel, and Globacom, all experienced a decline in their subscriber numbers. This achievement marks T2 Mobile’s first recorded month of positive subscriber growth since late 2023, underscoring the severity of its previous struggles and the significance of this recent resurgence. As Nigeria’s fourth-largest telecom operator, this modest yet impactful increase signals a potential shift in momentum after nearly two years of continuous decline. The addition of almost 300,000 users to its active customer base from 2.4 million truly highlights a turnaround that few anticipated, showcasing a resilient effort in a highly competitive African tech landscape.
This unexpected upward trajectory for T2 Mobile suggests that strategic initiatives or market dynamics may be starting to pay off. For a company that has navigated immense financial and operational hurdles, this July 2025 growth offers a glimmer of hope and could potentially signal the beginning of a recovery phase, setting a new course for the struggling yet determined telecom provider in the dynamic Nigerian market.
