T-Mobile’s T-Satellite Is Eliminating Cellular Dead Zones for Only $10/Month

UNITED STATES, JUN 24 – T-Mobile's T-Satellite service will cover over 500,000 square miles, offering free texting for select plans and $10 monthly access to other carriers' customers, expanding connectivity in remote areas.

  • T-Mobile officially launched its T-Satellite service relying on SpaceX Starlink satellites on July 23, extending coverage nationwide for all U.S. carriers.
  • The service evolved from a free beta available since January to a paid offering due to demand for cellular coverage in dead zones, with beta ending July 23.
  • Initially, T-Satellite supports text messaging and 911 texting for compatible devices, with data service and MMS support rolling out starting October 1.
  • T-Mobile set introductory pricing at $10 per month, which is $5 less than the original $15, and stated the network automatically connects when no cellular signal exists.
  • The launch signals continued satellite service growth to eliminate dead zones, with future upgrades expected and broad implications for emergency communication accessibility.
