## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)About T-Satellite phone service
Stay connected in places never thought possible with T-Satellite. Starlink direct-to-cell satellites complement the existing T-Mobile network by acting as cell towers in space. This allows you to stay connected even when you are outside of the range of a cell tower. No set up, no stress, no pointing at the sky. It just works.
T-Satellite supports text messaging, location sharing and now picture and audio messaging, select apps, and satellite data. Check device eligibility below to learn more.
__Things to know__
T-Satellite performance may vary based on factors such as your location and network traffic. For the best possible experience, we recommend using the service outdoors with a clear view of the sky.
- Coverage may not be available on airplanes, inside buildings, cruise ships, and other places with obstructed views of the sky.
- Coverage can be impacted by topography (e.g. mountains, canyons, tree cover, etc.)
- Due to ongoing regulatory requirements, there may be areas in some states that do not allow satellite coverage.
- When no other traditional or roaming networks are available, your device will prioritize connecting to T-Satellite – when available – for the best possible experience.
- __Apple iPhone:__ If you see signal bars, the word ‘SAT,’ and the network name ‘T-Mobile SpaceX' or ‘T-Sat+Starlink' you are connected to T-Satellite.
- __Android:__ If you see a satellite icon and the network name ‘T-Mobile SpaceX' or ‘T-Sat+Starlink' you are connected to T-Satellite.
__Coverage Availability__
- T-Satellite currently covers the Continental U.S., including Puerto Rico, Hawaii and parts of southern Alaska.
- T-Satellite international coverage is available in additional countries through our partnerships with:
- Canada - Rogers Satellite
- New Zealand - One NZ
- Check out our [coverage map](https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/coverage-map) to see where T-Satellite coverage is available. We are collaborating with our global roaming partners and SpaceX to offer T-Satellite to our customers traveling in even more places.
__Message Delays__
Messages may take longer to send. Your phone will continue to try to resend the message until it is successfully sent or fails. If the message fails, you will be notified of a failed message and prompted to resend.
Share your experience
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us identify pain points and optimize the experience. How to send feedback:
- You can send feedback at any time using our T-Life app. Open the app and lightly shake your device, which will bring up a help menu.
- Select Report an Issue
- Select T-Satellite
- Select the appropriate category
- Provide your feedback
- If you're trying to share feedback through the T-Life app while connected to T-Satellite, you may see a "no internet connection" message. Don’t worry! You can still submit your feedback, and it will be sent once you're connected to the T-Mobile cellular network.
Eligible devices
To check if your device is eligible for T-Satellite, log in to the T-Life app or visit [T-Mobile.com IMEI checker](https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone).
__How to Check if Your Device Can Use T-Satellite in T-Life__
1. Open the __T-Life__ app and sign in, if needed.
2. Tap __Manage__.
3. Select the phone line you want to check.
4. Scroll down to __Status__ and tap __T-Satellite__.

## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)Using T-Satellite on your device
T-Satellite supports text messaging, including texts to 911, Location sharing, and picture messaging, select apps, and satellite data.
How do I connect?
When you are in an area without traditional or roaming cellular services, your satellite-optimized device will automatically connect to the T-Satellite network. Manually selecting the T-Satellite network will not work while other cellular connection options are available. When connected to T-Satellite, your device will display ‘T-Mobile SpaceX’ or ‘T-Sat+Starlink’ at the top-left side of your screen.
Send a text message
To send a text message while connected to T-Satellite, simply send texts as you usually would from your device. Messages may take longer to send.

Using Apps with Satellite Data
Apps may perform differently on satellite than on traditional cellular networks. Apps that are designed for high-latency, low-bandwidth conditions are more likely to deliver the best experience. Check the list below for apps currently optimized for satellite use. We’ve partnered with developers continuing to expand a growing list. Apps available today include messaging, AI, maps and weather are already live, and we’re continuing to onboard additional apps.
__Things to Know__
- Satellite connections aren’t always instant—because satellites move overhead, your phone may need a moment to find one. If you don’t see signal right away, just give it a little time and try again. This isn’t high speed data, but it’s built for what matters most off grid.
- Make sure to download and sign in to supported apps before heading into satellite coverage.
- Keep your phone and app software updated for the best experience.
- Some app functionality may be different or not available on satellite.
- If you already have T-Satellite, there are no extra charges or sign-up needed—just connect and go! Head on over to our [T-Satellite page](https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/satellite-phone-service) to learn more about the service!
__Satellite data apps__
A growing list of apps are optimized for T-Satellite on select phones, with more on the way! If you already have one of the apps below, make sure you have the latest update before heading into satellite coverage.

## [](https://www.t-mobile.com)Using T-Satellite as a Non-T-Mobile Customer
To use T-Satellite, you'll need an unlocked, satellite optimized phone with eSIM capabilities. This lets you activate the T-Satellite service digitally and allows your phone to easily switch between your regular network and the satellite service.
Not a T-Mobile customer? Get T-Satellite for $10/mo. (a savings of $5/mo.) by [enrolling here](https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/satellite-phone-service/choose-your-satellite-service). You can also call 1-800-937-8997 or visit a T-Mobile store.
[Click here](https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone) to check T-Satellite compatibility with your phone.
What is an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone lets you use your phone with another carrier. If your phone is locked, it may restrict access to certain services, including T-Satellite connectivity.
- If you purchased your phone directly from the manufacturer (e.g., Apple, Samsung), it is likely already unlocked.
- If you bought your phone through a carrier, it may be locked to that carrier.
- On iPhone: Go to __Settings__ > __General__ > __About__ > __Scroll to Carrier Lock__ > If it says 'No SIM restrictions', your phone is unlocked.
- On Samsung: Go to __Settings__ > __Connections__ > __Mobile Networks__ > __Network Operators__ > If you see multiple carriers available, your phone is likely unlocked.
- On Motorola: Go to __Settings__ > __About phone__ > __Network unlock__ > If the status says 'Unlocked', your phone is unlocked.
- On Pixel: Download the Device Unlock app from the Play Store. Open app and your device check eligibility. If the status says 'Unlocked', your phone is unlocked.
__Is my phone unlocked?__
[Check here](https://www.t-mobile.com/resources/bring-your-own-phone) to see if your phone is unlocked, or:
__How to unlock__
If your phone is locked, you will need to contact your current carrier and ask them to unlock it.
__Set up T-Satellite with eSIM__
To use T-Satellite on your current phone, follow the steps below to ensure your eSIM is available and your settings are properly set up to access the service.
- Note: These instructions apply __after you’ve activated your service__.
- eSIM settings are only needed for T-Satellite service and should not be completed by T-Mobile Text to 911 customers using an eSIM.
- Some phones may only support one eSIM in which case you’ll need to make sure it is available. If it is currently in use by your main carrier, you’ll need to contact them to switch your service to a physical SIM (see below for instructions and impacted devices).
[](https://www.t-mobile.com)__eSIM settings required to connect to T-Satellite__
