We're on a mission to end dead zones.

Over 500,000 square miles in the U.S. aren’t covered by any wireless company's cell towers. That’s nearly twice the size of Texas. While our competition is scrambling to catch up, we’ve already got the solution.

Experience

T-Satellite has over 650 satellites—that’s a full constellation.

T-Satellite supports over 60 phones.

T-Satellite connects automatically even when your phone is in your pocket.

Verizon has...wait for it...less than 10.

Verizon only works with a few Androids. Better check the fine print.

With Verizon, you'll be waving your device in the air like a magic wand.

Still searching the skies for signs of life from AT&T.

AT&T: Still testing. Still unavailable. Still no timeline.

You won’t be texting—but you will be reconsidering AT&T.

How your phone works with satellites.

  • Satellites are moving; so your phone will disconnect and reconnect to the next satellite automatically. 
  • You will see a SAT icon in the upper right when connected.

No setup. No stress.

  • Just text like you normally would, no need to aim your phone at the sky.
  • No settings to adjust, it just works. 
  • There may be short gaps in service when satellites are moving.
  • During a gap, messages may take longer than usual to send, but your phone will keep trying, even in your pocket.

How to get the best service.

  • You don’t need to point your phone at the sky, but having a clear, unobstructed view will result in the best signal.
  • Dense forests or valleys may have more interruptions due to obstructions.
  • There are areas where we can’t offer satellite service because they are government-regulated, like borders and science zones.

Got questions?

  • With T-Satellite you can stay connected in places cell towers can’t reach. The service supports messaging and location sharing. This means you can send and receive standard text-based messages, including texts to 911, and share your location through your phone’s native messaging app. We are also rolling out picture and voice messaging to select devices and will continue adding more in the coming months. Next up, we’ll deliver satellite data for optimized apps, and will continue to add more features.

    • Experience Beyond & Go5G Next customers: No action needed—T-Satellite is included in your plan at no extra cost.
    • Experience More customers that were part of the beta: No action needed—T-Satellite will be included in your plan through the end of the year.
    • T-Mobile customers on other plans can add the service for a limited time at $10/month (a savings of $5/mo.) under ‘Manage Data & Add-Ons' in their account. 
    • Non-customers can get the service for a limited time at $10/mo. (savings of $5/mo.) by calling 1-800-937-8997 or visiting a Retail location.

  • Nothing! Once you have T-Satellite, your phone will automatically connect to the satellite network when no other service is available. You’ll see the network name “T-Mobile SpaceX” when connected. For more details, please refer to our support page.

  • T-Satellite currently covers the Continental U.S., including Puerto Rico, Hawaii and parts of southern Alaska. Check out our coverage map to see where coverage is available. We are also collaborating with our global roaming partners and SpaceX to offer satellite services to our customers when traveling abroad or in international waters in the future.

  • Over 60 phones work with T-Satellite. Satellite networks work differently from traditional cellular networks, so to ensure the best possible experience, we’re collaborating with our handset partners to optimize as many smartphones as possible.

     

    See the support page for devices that will work with T-Satellite.

  • On satellite messages may take longer to send or receive, depending on satellite availability and connection conditions.

    Satellites are moving so your phone will disconnect and then reconnect automatically to the next satellite. Your phone will continue trying to send your messages in the background. 

  • Yes! While T-Mobile customers enjoy the best benefits, non-T-Mobile customers can still sign up for T-Satellite by calling 1-800-937-8997 or visiting a Retail store.
