Say Goodbye to Dead Zones!

In a game-changing move, T-Mobile is teaming up with SpaceX's Starlink to launch T-Satellite on July 23. This innovative service will bring direct-to-cell messaging capabilities to your phone, even if you're with AT&T or Verizon. Forget about being off-grid—stay connected wherever you go!

Revolutionizing Mobile Connectivity

With 657 Starlink satellites dedicated to this project, T-Mobile aims to eliminate mobile dead zones for good. After successful beta testing with nearly 1.8 million users since December 2024, the anticipation is palpable. Now, most smartphones from the past four years can access this service without any extra hardware!

More Than Just Messaging

Beyond sending selfies from remote locations, T-Satellite provides a lifeline to emergency services. "In an emergency, every second counts," says T-Mobile's Mike Katz. Tragically, the necessity of this feature was highlighted last week when T-Mobile enabled the service for flood-hit communities in Central Texas, allowing customers to text 911 and receive emergency alerts.

Free Emergency Services Coming Soon

Good news for safety: T-Satellite users will eventually get free emergency texting across the U.S., with availability for all compatible devices—regardless of carrier—expected before the year ends. It's a revolutionary step towards keeping everyone connected in crucial situations.

How T-Satellite Works

T-Satellite operates seamlessly by automatically connecting your phone to one of the dedicated satellites, unlike existing systems that require manual setups. With a network of over 7,000 low-Earth orbit satellites, 657 will focus solely on providing robust cell service to areas that lack traditional coverage.

Affordable Pricing for All

Starting July 23, the T-Satellite service will cost just $10 per month for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon customers. However, if you're on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plans, you'll get this service at no additional cost!

Compatible Devices Galore!

Wondering if your phone is supported? Most devices from the last few years are compatible, including iPhones from the 13 series onward, various Google Pixel models, and many Samsung and Motorola phones. This broad compatibility ensures that a significant number of users will benefit from this satellite service.

Setting Up T-Satellite

Verizon and AT&T users will need to activate T-Satellite as a second eSIM to enjoy this service. For step-by-step instructions on setting up, you can find resources on T-Mobile's website. Say hello to a new era of connectivity!
