Motorola rekindled a selling relationship with T-Mobile in 2017 , and in 2020 that partnership took the next leap . During the pandemic and times of supply uncertainty , T-Mobile trusted Motorola to deliver on their device needs and extended their forecasts to give Motorola the visibility to procure the right parts – despite extended lead times and delivery dates more than six months in the future .
T-Mobile provided Motorola with enough certainty that they would take product orders and clearly communicated their needs for a longer period , so that the duo could collaboratively plan to create combined success .

The partnership doesn ’ t stop there - T-Mobile and Motorola are working diligently to bring even more products and innovations to North American consumers , including innovative form factors , differentiated color options and enhanced communication ecosystems .
