On Monday, Shares of T-Mobile US, Inc. (NYSE:TMUS), gained 0.89% to $34.15.
Verizon seems to be spending billions on its latest ad campaign telling you to ‘Never Settle.’ T-Mobile, couldn’t agree more. So, today the Un-carrier launched the Never Settle Trial, exclusively for Verizon customers, so they can give the Un-carrier a try with no risk or extra out-of-pocket expense.
And, T-Mobile kicked off a new campaign of its own laying out the facts and all the ways wireless users should never settle … like settling for an old carrier that penalizes you for using too much data, locks you into a two-year contract, makes you pay to leave, makes you wait to upgrade your phone, overcharges you outside the country or repossesses your unused data every month.
With the Never Settle Trial, Verizon customers port their number to a new T-Mobile smartphone and hold on to their old Verizon phone, just in case. After the trial, if they love the service and want to join the millions switching to the Un-carrier, T-Mobile will pay off any of Verizon’s Early Termination Fees (ETFs) up to $650 or outstanding device payments when they trade in their phone and get a new one with T-Mobile’s wildly popular Simple Choice plan. If it doesn’t work out, the customer just hands in their T-Mobile phone within 14 days, and the Un-carrier will refund any trial costs from using T-Mobile … and any service costs for starting back up with Verizon, like activation or other related fees Verizon regularly charges. The Never Settle Trial starts on May 13, and Verizon customers can sign up through May 31.

Owens-Illinois, stated financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2015.
- First quarter 2015 earnings from ongoing operations attributable to the Company were $0.44 per share (diluted). This compares to first quarter 2014 earnings of $0.62 per share on a stated basis, and to $0.50 per share on a constant currency basis.
- Results were consistent with administration`s guidance of $0.40 to $0.45 per share, despite the greater-than-predictable strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the quarter.
- Volumes declined about 2.5 percent on a global basis year-over-year. As predictable, beer shipments were down in comparison to strong demand leading up to the World Cup tournament in the preceding year. Lower beer volumes also reflect the Company`s 2014 China retrenchment activities. Shipments for all other categories combined were essentially flat.
- The stronger U.S. dollar drove lower segment operating profit, which declined $50 million.
- On a constant currency basis, segment profits were down $15 million. North America improved due to more efficient supply chain operations. Despite escalating energy and raw material costs, South America achieved the same level of profits as first quarter last year by obtaining higher selling prices this quarter. Profits in Europe were dampened by more-than-typical production downtime, in addition to the impact of competitive pressures on price. Asia Pacific results were essentially flat as the benefits from last year`s restructuring efforts mostly offset lower shipments.
- The Company initiated a $100 million accelerated stock repurchase program in February 2015. The Company anticipates repurchasing at least an additional $25 million in shares over the course of the year.
