The entire idea behind a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile is to compete much more effectively against Verizon and AT&T. At least that’s the case the folks at Sprint and Softbank are trying to make. Regulators might not be so easily convinced. AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile US for itself back in 2011 for $39 billion but was shot down by regulators. The company’s CFO John Stephens is skeptical about the merger, he “doesn’t think” that its going to go through.

The competition between four major U.S. carriers has heated up quite a bit in the past few months, with T-Mobile leading the charge on several new initiatives that have shaken up the wireless carrier industry. AT&T, the second largest national carrier, has gone on the offensive by implementing a new price cut, hoping to get a leg up on its rivals. The AT&T Mobile Share Value plan 2GB gets a $15 price cut and now stands at $65 per month. This price gives a customer with one phone line 2GB of data on AT&T’s 4G LTE network, as well as unlimited talk and text in the country.

Some of you might recall that back in February, T-Mobile sent out some pretty troll-ish emails to BlackBerry customers, telling them to upgrade their phones to something else like the iPhone 5s. Naturally this did not sit well with BlackBerry’s CEO, John Chen, who is currently trying to turn the company around, and the last thing he needs is carriers to be unsupportive.

Thankfully T-Mobile had a change of heart and launched a new promotion that would basically allow customers to trade-in their older BlackBerry handsets for something newer by giving them credit as much as $200. However if that customer were to get a BlackBerry, they’d be given an extra $50 in credit. It turns out that the promotion was a success, according to a recent tweet by T-Mobile’s CMO, Mike Sievert.
