If you ever found yourself in dead zones with no cellular connectivity, you probably know the frustration of being unable to connect with your people. Well, those days are coming to an end. Yesterday, T-Mobile announced that the beta of the Starlink-powered satellite texting service is now open for everyone in the US. In other words, you can try this service even if you are on other networks like Verizon, AT&T, etc.
\nT-Mobile has opened the Starlink satellite texting beta for literally everyone in the US
\nLate last month, during the earnings call, T-Mobile\u2019s CEO hinted that the service wouldn\u2019t be free for all its customers. Now, we have official confirmation. Per T-Mobile\u2019s press release, the Starlink texting service will cost $15 per month after the testing period is over.
\nIf you register for the beta, you have the chance to access the service for 33% less, at just $10 per month. T-Mobile customers on the premium Go5G Next plans don\u2019t have to worry about paying extra, as the Starlink satellite messaging service comes bundled with it.
\nThe smartphone carrier also appears to be attracting customers on Verizon and AT&T networks. The telecom company specifically mentioned that they can use the service for free during the beta period. Once the beta period is over, they\u2019ll need to pay $20 per month per line to use it.
\nT-Mobile\u2019s ad during last night\u2019s Super Bowl LIX indicated that the service will also include voice and multimedia messaging. Sadly, those features will come later. The public beta currently only includes texting. Mike Katz, T-Mobile\u2019s president of marketing, strategy, and products, reportedly said that the satellite service might also work with apps that don\u2019t require super-fast data.
\nThere are only limited seats available
\nT-Mobile will also be working with app developers to create features that could work with the satellite network\u2019s bandwidth. Fortunately, the satellite texting service works on most smartphones from the last four years. Although T-Mobile says that accepts users on a \u201crolling first-come, first-served basis,\u201d there are only \u201climited seats\u201d up for grabs. So, if you are in the US and interested, hurry up and register for the beta.<\/p>\n
