T-Mobile's Live Translation AI Agent Will Be Baked Into Your Phone Calls
- On Wednesday, T-Mobile opened beta registration for Live Translation, with selected users testing planned this spring and a commercial launch scheduled later this year.
- By building the AI into its 5G Advanced network, T-Mobile aims to remove language barriers using an agentic AI platform that works on feature phones and flagship smartphones without a separate app.
- Subscribers activate Live Translation by dialing *87* during a call, and the AI agent detects languages in real time, playing translations during pauses across more than 50 languages.
- The beta is free, though pricing for a commercial rollout remains undecided; T-Mobile says it does not save call recordings or use customers' call audio to train models, despite past breaches and a 2024 FCC settlement.
- The development positions carriers to offer intelligence layered into the network rather than just connectivity, with T-Mobile calling Live Translation its first agentic AI feature and rivals AT&T and Verizon likely to respond.
