     Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
Involving Securities of the Issuer

     Item 6 of the Schedule 13D as originally filed is hereby amended by adding
thereto the following:

     Merger Agreement and Related Stockholders Agreements

     On July 23, 2000, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation ("VoiceStream") and
Deutsche Telekom AG ("DT") entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for the merger of a subsidiary
of DT with and into VoiceStream.  This merger will result in VoiceStream's
becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of DT.

     In the merger, with respect to each share of VoiceStream common stock,
VoiceStream stockholders will have the ability to (i) make an all stock election
entitling a stockholder to receive 3.7647 shares of DT, (ii) an all cash
election entitling a stockholder to receive $200 in cash, or (iii) a combination
election entitling a stockholder to receive 3.2 DT shares and $30 in cash, in
each case subject to proration and to the right of VoiceStream to reduce the
aggregate cash consideration as it reasonably determines necessary to permit
delivery of the requisite tax opinion pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
VoiceStream stockholders may elect to receive (with respect to the stock
consideration) DT American Depositary Receipts, which will be listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, or ordinary DT shares, which will be listed on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

     The following persons have entered into agreements with DT (the
"Stockholders Agreements") to vote shares of VoiceStream common stock, which in
the aggregate represent more than 50% of VoiceStream's currently outstanding
shares, in favor of the merger:

                                John W. Stanton
                             Theresa E. Gillespie
                               PN Cellular, Inc.
                             Stanton Family Trust

                                       2
<PAGE>

                      Stanton Communications Corporation
                           GS Capital Partners, L.P.
                         The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
                         Bridge Street Fund 1992, L.P.
                         Stone Street Fund 1992, L.P.
              Hutchison Telecommunications Holdings (USA) Limited
                Hutchison Telecommunications PCS (USA) Limited
                              Sonera Corporation
                             Sonera Holding, B.V.
                              Deutsche Telekom AG
                       Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.

     The Merger Agreement requires that the merger be presented to the
VoiceStream stockholders for a vote even if the VoiceStream board of directors
no longer recommends that the stockholders approve the merger.  The consummation
of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of
regulatory approvals, including FCC, Hart Scott Rodino, and EEC approvals and a
no-action position under Exon-Florio.

     The Merger Agreement may be terminated, among other reasons, by VoiceStream
if the merger has not occurred by September 30, 2001, and by DT if the merger
has not occurred by December 31, 2001, or by either party if a burdensome
condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is imposed by any regulatory body
in granting its approval.

     DT will invest $5 billion in preferred stock of VoiceStream having a
liquidation preference of $1,280 per share, which will become convertible into
VoiceStream common stock at $160 per share if the Merger Agreement is
terminated. The preferred stock will vote with the VoiceStream common stock as a
single class and will have one vote per share.  If the preferred stock issued to
DT is converted into VoiceStream common stock, DT's ownership of the outstanding
VoiceStream common stock would be approximately 10%.  Further, upon such
conversion into VoiceStream common stock, an amendment to the existing Voting
Agreement among certain stockholders of VoiceStream (the "Voting Agreement"),
described below, entered into by DT and such other stockholders of VoiceStream
that will permit DT to designate two members of VoiceStream's board will become
effective.  In addition, VoiceStream has granted DT the right to purchase its
pro rata amount of certain subsequent issuances of equity securities by
VoiceStream in order to permit DT to maintain its percentage ownership of
VoiceStream (subject to limitations) and DT has agreed to a standstill limiting
its ownership of VoiceStream to 33% in the first two years, 36% in the third
year and 40% in the fourth and fifth years following the date of the Merger
Agreement.

          First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement

     The Voting Agreement (which was described in the Schedule 13D originally
filed) will remain in effect unless and until DT converts its VoiceStream
preferred stock into VoiceStream common stock, in which case the Voting
Agreement will be amended and restated as described herein pursuant to the First
Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated July 23, 2000 (the "First Amended
and Restated Voting Agreement").

                                       3
<PAGE>

Under the terms of the First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, the filing
persons will vote their shares of VoiceStream common stock in favor of a board
consisting of 19 persons (subject to adjustment) designated as follows:

               (i)    John Stanton, as long as he is the chief executive officer
of VoiceStream;

               (ii)   One member de signated by John Stanton, so long as he or
his permitted transferees beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares;

               (iii)  Four members designated by Hutchison Telecommunications
PCS (USA) Limited ("Hutchison PCS")(or if Hutchison PCS has transferred all of
its shares to permitted transferees of Hutchison PCS, four designees of such
permitted transferees) and its affiliated entities. Such number of designees
shall be subject to increases (rounded to the nearest whole number), depending
upon increases in Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') percentage
ownership of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares issuable to
Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the VoiceStream
preferred stock held by Hutchison PCS), in which event the board shall be
expanded by one member to accommodate each such new designee unless there are
vacancies on the board and the board determines to fill any vacancies with such
designees so that the percentage of the entire board represented by Hutchison
PCS's designees (rounded to the nearest whole number) shall be proportionate to
Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') aggregate percentage ownership
of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares issuable to Hutchison
PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the preferred stock held
by Hutchison PCS);

               (iv)   One member designated by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., GS
Capital Partners, L.P., Bridge Street Fund 1992, L.P. and Stone Street Fund
1992, L.P. (collectively, the "Goldman Entities") and their permitted
transferees, so long as such entities beneficially own at least 4,500,000
shares;

               (v)    Four members who were on the board of directors of
Omnipoint Corporation ("Omnipoint") prior to the acquisition (the "Omnipoint
Reorganization") of Omnipoint by VoiceStream and who are selected by Omnipoint
to serve (the following persons have been designated by Omnipoint to serve as
directors: Douglas G. Smith, Richard L. Fields, James N. Perry, Jr. and James J.
Ross; such persons being collectively referred to as the "Omnipoint Designees")
until and including the second annual meeting of stockholders of VoiceStream
taking place after February 25, 2000 (it being understood that such four members
shall serve until such time as the term of office of the directors elected at
such second annual meeting terminates);

               (vi)   One member designated by Sonera Corporation ("Sonera") and
its permitted transferees so long as such entities beneficially own at least
4,500,000 shares; provided, however, that if Sonera beneficially owns more than
9,800,000 shares and Telephone Data Systems, Inc. ("TDS") beneficially owns less
than

                                       4
<PAGE>

4,500,000 shares, the number of members that Sonera will be entitled to
designate will be two;

               (vii)  One member designated by TDS and its permitted transferees
so long as such entities beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, such
director to be elected to the board by action of the board promptly after TDS
designates a member; provided, however, that if TDS beneficially owns more than
9,800,000 shares and Sonera beneficially owns less than 4,500,000 shares, the
number of members that TDS will be entitled to designate will be two;

               (viii) Two members designated by DT and its permitted transferees
so long as such entities beneficially own at least 9,800,000 shares, such
directors to be elected to the board by action of the board promptly after DT
designates such members; provided, however, that if DT beneficially owns at
least 4,500,000 shares but less than 9,800,000 shares, the number of members
that DT will be entitled to designate will be one;

               (ix)   The then president of VoiceStream;

               (x)    The then vice-chairman of VoiceStream; and

               (xi)   The remaining members of the board as selected by a
majority of the directors designated pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (ix)
and (x).

     No designee to the board may be removed (except removal for cause under
applicable law) without the written consent of the persons who designated the
director (in the case of the Omnipoint Designees, a majority of the board of
directors of Omnipoint as such board of directors existed immediately prior to
the Omnipoint Reorganization).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing:

               (A)  if at any time the Goldman Entities (and their permitted
transferees) shall cease to beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, then in
such event, they (or, if they have transferred all of their shares to permitted
transferees, their permitted transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any
member of the board;

               (B)  if at any time John Stanton (and his permitted transferees)
shall cease to beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, then in such event,
John Stanton (or, if John Stanton has transferred all of his shares to permitted
transferees, his permitted transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any
member of the board (except that Stanton shall continue to serve on the board
for so long as he holds the office of chief executive officer of VoiceStream);

               (C)  the number of designees of Hutchison PCS (and its permitted
transferees) shall be subject to decreases (rounded to the nearest whole number)
depending upon reductions in Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees')
percentage ownership of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares
issuable to Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the
VoiceStream

                                       5
<PAGE>

preferred stock held by Hutchison PCS), so that the percentage of the entire
board represented by Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') designees
(rounded to the nearest whole number) shall be proportionate to Hutchison PCS's
(and its permitted transferees') aggregate percentage ownership of outstanding
shares, in which event the number of designees Hutchison PCS (and its permitted
transferees) are entitled to designate to the board shall be reduced so that the
percentage of the entire board represented by Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted
transferees') designees (rounded to the nearest whole number) shall be
proportionate to Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') aggregate
percentage ownership of outstanding shares; provided, however, that so long as
Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) beneficially owns at least
9,800,000 shares, then in such event Hutchison PCS and its permitted transferees
shall be entitled to designate at least two members of the board; and provided,
further, that if at any time Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) shall
cease to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares, but shall continue to
beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, then in such event Hutchison PCS and
its permitted transferees shall be entitled to designate only one member of the
board; and (ii) 4,500,000 shares, then in such event, Hutchison PCS and its
permitted transferees shall not be entitled to designate any member of the
board;

               (D)  if at any time Sonera (and its permitted transferees) shall
cease to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares at a time when Sonera is
entitled to designate two directors, then in such event, Sonera (or, if Sonera
has transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of Sonera, its
permitted transferees) shall be entitled to designate only one member of the
board; and (ii) 4,500,000 shares, then in such event, Sonera (or, if Sonera has
transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of Sonera, its permitted
transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any member of the board;

               (E)  if at any time TDS (and its permitted transferees) shall
cease to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares at a time when TDS is
entitled to designate two directors, then in such event, TDS (or, if TDS has
transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of TDS, its permitted
transferees) shall be entitled to designate only one member of the board; and
(ii) 4,500,000 Shares, then in such event, TDS (or, if TDS has transferred all
of its shares to permitted transferees of TDS, its permitted transferees) shall
not be entitled to designate any member of the Board;

               (F)  if at any time DT (and its permitted transferees) shall
cease to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares, but shall continue to
beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares), then in such event, DT (or, if DT
has transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of DT, its permitted
transferees) shall be entitled to designate only one member of the board; and
(ii) 4,500,000 shares, then in such event, DT (or, if DT has transferred all of
its shares to permitted transferees of DT, its permitted transferees) shall not
be entitled to designate any member of the board.

               (G)  Any vacancies on the board created by reason of the
provisions of subsections (A) through (F) above shall be filled by the vote of a
majority of the directors then in office (unless such directors determine to
reduce the size of the board after a vacancy is created) to serve until the next
annual meeting of stockholders of

                                       6
<PAGE>

VoiceStream, and at the next annual meeting shall be filled by a vote of a
plurality of all stockholders of VoiceStream; provided, however, that in the
event that the size of the board shall have increased by reason of Hutchison PCS
having the right to designate additional director(s) and thereafter Hutchison
PCS shall cease to have the right to so designate such additional director(s),
the size of the board shall be appropriately reduced and each of the parties to
the Voting Agreement (and each of their respective permitted transferees ) will
vote, or cause to be voted, all of the shares then beneficially owned by it
(whether now owned or hereafter acquired), in person or by proxy (and, shall
take all other necessary or desirable actions within such party's (or its
permitted transferees') control including attendance at meetings in person or by
proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in
lieu of meetings), to cause such reduction in the board.

               (H)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
amended Voting Agreement, Hutchison's right to transfer its right to designate
directors to certain block transferees as set forth in Sections 14 and 15 of the
Stockholders Agreement of VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, dated February 17,
1998, as amended, among Western Wireless Corporation, a Washington corporation,
VoiceStream and Hutchison PCS, shall continue in full force and effect until
terminated in accordance with the terms of such Stockholders Agreement.

          Transfer Restrictions Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreements

     Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement entered into between DT and the
Filing Persons, in addition to agreeing to vote in favor of the merger with DT
the Filing Persons have agreed with DT not to transfer any VoiceStream common
stock (or DT shares received with respect to their VoiceStream common stock in
the merger) except for the percentage of their holdings set forth below, subject
to certain exceptions:

               31, 2001 the percentage thereafter will be increased by 3.75% on
               August 1, 2001, and if the merger has not occurred by August 31,
               2001 the percentage thereafter will be increased by another 3.75%
               on September 1, 2001.

          3.   For the three-month period following the merger:  none
