Join the beta and turn your phone into
a satellite phone.

Explore that national park, text from remote areas coast to coast, reach mom when you reach the summit.

Experience coverage like never before. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. wireless provider with a mobile + satellite network, connecting you automatically so you can text via satellite on most modern smartphones.

We're on a mission to end dead zones.

From your front door to some of the most remote locations.

500,000 square miles in the U.S. are currently not covered by any wireless company.

T-Mobile and Starlink are continually launching new cell towers in space.

Connect on the largest satellite-to-cell mobile constellation in the world.

Satellites launched so far

You’ll have coverage almost anywhere you go.

T-Mobile has America's largest 5G network. In areas that traditional tower signals can’t reach, T-Mobile Starlink provides an extra layer of coverage.

Anyone with a compatible device is eligible for T-Mobile Starlink beta trial; limited spots available. Satellite service, including 911, may be delayed, limited, or unavailable. Developing technology available in most areas, most of the time; ultimately available in most outdoor areas where you can see the sky.

How does it work?

Got questions?

  • The T-Mobile Starlink beta allows you to be among the first to experience satellite-to-mobile connectivity for free. By joining, you’ll help us shape the future of this service by testing it and providing valuable feedback.

    T-Mobile Starlink beta will begin with text-only messaging through your phone’s native messaging app. This means you can send and receive standard text-based messages, including texts to 911. In the future, T-Mobile Starlink will also include picture messaging, data services and voice calling

    The free beta will continue until T-Mobile Starlink launches in July of this year.

  • Anyone – on any carrier – can register to participate in the beta. We’ll admit people on a rolling first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage everyone to sign up as soon as possible.

  • While you are waiting, we will provide regular updates. We have already started adding customers into the beta and will continue to add more people over time. You’ll receive a notification with all the details you need when you are admitted to the beta.

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

  • Check out our coverage map to see where T-Mobile Starlink satellite 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.

  • The beta is free for all. When T-Mobile Starlink launches in July, it will be included FREE on our best plan – Go5G Next – and available on other plans for $15/month.

     

    Until March 1st, T-Mobile beta testers not on Go5G Next can secure an Early Adopter Discount of $5 off per month, reducing the monthly cost to just $10/month.

     

    Verizon, AT&T and other customers can get T-Mobile Starlink without switching to T-Mobile for $20/month after the beta ends in July.

  • No worries! If you previously registered, we’ll reach out to you in the coming weeks with next steps on how to secure the Early Adopter Discount!

  • T-Mobile Starlink is the first and only space-based mobile network operated by a mobile provider in the US! We’re the only wireless provider to combine our mobile network with a satellite network, and that combination delivers benefits like broad availability, automatic connection for a ‘just works’ experience on most modern smartphones for anyone on any carrier, and a roadmap to deliver picture messaging, data services and voice calling in the future.

  • So many things:

    • T-Mobile Starlink is available to anyone on any carrier. Other carrier services are limited to their customers only, to the extent they are available.
    • Our partner, Starlink, is the undisputed leader in satellite technology. With over 475 satellites in orbit, it is the world’s largest satellite-to-mobile constellation. Others have a small fraction of that many satellites in orbit.
    • Our service uses T-Mobile network technology so that T-Mobile Starlink automatically connects to most smartphones launched in the last four years – regardless of OS. Other services don’t use any carrier network technology, don’t auto-connect, and are restricted to a specific OS and fewer devices.
    • We worked closely with Apple and Google to make T-Mobile Starlink the default satellite connection on their smartphones.
    • Our service is live in beta today with thousands of customers using it now – and more being admitted all the time. Other carrier services hardly even exist and have no customers
    • We have a roadmap to go beyond text messaging to deliver picture messaging, data services and voice calling as well as roaming with other Starlink partners around the globe and coverage in international waters in the future.

     

  • Most smartphones from the last four years will work with T-Mobile Starlink.

    Satellite networks work differently from traditional cellular networks, so to ensure the best possible experience, smartphones need to be satellite optimized. We’re collaborating with our handset partners to optimize as many smartphones as possible, starting with newer devices.

    These devices will work with T-Mobile Starlink (this list will be updated regularly):

    • Apple iPhone 14 and later (including Plus, Pro & Pro Max)
    • Google Pixel 9 (including Pro, Pro Fold, & Pro XL)
    • Motorola 2024 and later (including razr, razr+, edge and g series)
    • Samsung Galaxy A14, A15, A16, A35, A53, A54
    • Samsung Galaxy S21 and later (including Plus, Ultra and Fan Edition)
    • Samsung Galaxy X Cover6 Pro
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and later
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and later
    • REVVL 7 (including Pro)

     

    NOTE: Phone needs to be on the latest software to use T-Mobile Starlink.
