HOUSTON, Texas and Bellevue, Wash. (June 29, 2010) – Broadpoint, a full-service telecommunications and network solutions company, today announced with T-Mobile USA, Inc. that T-Mobile customers are now able to use voice and messaging services in the Gulf of Mexico using Broadpoint’s network. The companies plan to extend the offshore roaming agreement to include data service in the Gulf for T-Mobile customers in the fall of 2010.

The expanded services will be provided to T-Mobile customers via Broadpoint’s SM/GPRS/EDGE network, which extends over 100,000 square miles into the Gulf of Mexico. Especially critical in today’s offshore work environment, the availability of constant communications for T-Mobile customers in the Gulf will improve productivity, business flow and response times and offer the opportunity for reduced costs and mitigated risk for oilfield services and marine professionals.

“From recreational boaters to offshore workers in the Gulf, offshore communications are vitally important,” said Jennifer Medcalf, vice president, sales & marketing, Broadpoint. “We are very happy to be offering our services to T-Mobile customers.”

“The real value from T-Mobile is the quality of service and the security of knowing we’ll be with you when you need us,” said Gary Riding, regional vice president, T-Mobile USA. “Now customers can maintain those valuable connections to the family and the office, even when they are in the Gulf of Mexico.”
