T-Mobile begins beta testing Starlink satellite service to offer cell coverage in dead zones starting early 2025.

T-Mobile is inviting its postpaid voice customers to beta test its new Starlink satellite service, which aims to provide cellular coverage in areas without cell towers. The free beta program, starting early 2025, initially supports text messaging, with voice and data to follow. First responders and businesses receive priority. The service, approved by the FCC, uses SpaceX's satellites to cover over 500,000 square miles of current dead zones in the US.
