T-Mobile Opens Beta Registration for Starlink Satellite Messaging Service with 300 Satellites, Launching Early Next Year
Dec 16, 2024, 11:45 PM
T-Mobile has announced the opening of beta registration for its satellite-based messaging service in collaboration with SpaceX's Starlink, which utilizes over 300 satellites to provide connectivity in areas lacking cellular service. The beta test is expected to commence early next year, with a focus on T-Mobile users, particularly those in emergency services. The initiative aims to eliminate mobile dead zones, allowing users to send text messages even in remote locations. While the exact number of subscribers invited to participate in the beta program remains unclear, T-Mobile is prioritizing those who work in critical response roles. The full commercial launch of the service is anticipated to follow shortly after the beta testing period.
