Related Party Transactions [Abstract]  
Related-Party Transactions
Related-Party Transactions:

A private equity fund affiliated with one of the Company's greater than 5% stockholders owns:
A less than 20% interest in a company that provides services to the Company's customers, including handset insurance programs. Pursuant to the Company's agreement with this related-party, the Company bills its customers directly for these services and remits the fees collected from its customers for these services to the related-party. In addition, the Company receives compensation for selling handsets to the related-party;
A less than 20% equity interest in a company that provides advertising services to the Company; and
A less than 60% interest in a company that provides distributed antenna systems ("DAS") leases and maintenance to wireless carriers, including the Company. These DAS leases are accounted for as capital or operating leases in the Company's financial statements. This company was no longer a related party as of April 2012 because it was no longer owned by the affiliated fund.
