T-Mobile is once again shaking up the wireless industry by declaring that dead zones are a thing of the past. The Uncarrier’s new T-Satellite with Starlink service offers coverage in places you’ve never been connected before. Your favorite national parks, wilderness areas, mountain peaks, and deserts have all officially joined the grid. If you can see the sky, you can connect to T-Mobile.
This development means T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. wireless provider with a mobile and satellite network. You can trust that your device will have service where ever you go. Plus, you probably don’t need to buy a new device to use it. T-Satellite connects automatically on most modern smartphones released during the last four years.
If you’re ready to connect with T-Satellite, you don’t have to wait. The service is already available for free with a beta trial and can even be used by Verizon and AT&T customers. Beta participants who switch to T-Mobile can get one year of T-Satellite for free. Other customers can access T-Satellite by switching to the Experience More or Experience Beyond plans. It’s a standard feature of the Experience Beyond plan and will be included for free with Experience More through the end of the year. Others, including AT&T and Verizon customers, can get it for $10/month for a limited time after launch.

Get service everywhere with T-Satellite coverage
Coverage with T-Satellite is available virtually everywhere thanks to a massive constellation of low-orbit satellites. Acting as phone towers in space, these satellites beam down signals that work with regular smartphones, expanding T-Mobile’s service to places far from the grid on the ground.
Right now, T-Satellite offers text via satellite for over 50 different Android and Apple devices. There’s no need to stress about purchasing a satellite phone or pointing your device at a specific place in the sky. Just use your smartphone as you normally would, and it will automatically connect to the T-Satellite service when your phone can’t find a regular tower.
The service is perfect for exploring the outdoors and traveling in rural areas. It keeps you connected with your friends and family, and it offers an incredible safety feature. Not only can you text your significant other that you made it to the summit of your hike, you can also text the coordinates of your campsite to emergency services if you need help. Plus, there’s also an added peace of mind for your folks back home to know they can always reach you. Mom doesn’t have to worry about not being able to send a text while you’re out exploring the wilds.
How do you get T-Mobile’s satellite coverage?
T-Satellite is available to millions of users right now as part of T-Mobile’s free beta program. You don’t even have to be a current T-Mobile customer to test it. Even customers with carriers like AT&T and Verizon can register for the beta for free and try out the service until July.
After that, only T-Mobile’s customers on the Experience Beyond plans will have access T-Satellite as a free plan feature. Customers on the Experience More plan will keep free access through the end of the year, then will have to purchase it as a plan add-on. Everyone else, including Verizon and AT&T customers, can continue getting access for a limited time for just $10/month.
Ready to switch? Use T-Satellite now with a T-Mobile Experience plan
T-Mobile’s new Experience More and Experience Beyond plan lineup give you the easiest way to guarantee free access to the T-Satellite feature, even after the beta ends. Once the feature fully launches in July, both plans will include the T-Satellite feature for free through the end of the year, and then Experience Beyond will offer it as a permanent inclusion.
These plans come packed with value and offer more standard perks than what you’ll find on comparable plans from AT&T and Verizon. In addition to T-Satellite, both Experience plans include:
- Unlimited premium data
- Massive high-speed mobile hotspot allotments
- Streaming perks
- Free international roaming data
- In-flight Wi-Fi with partner airlines
The Experience More plan is perfect for families. With unlimited premium data and a 60GB high-speed mobile hotspot allotment, it offers more than enough data for most users. You’ll also get access to free Netflix and Apple TV+ subscriptions, up to 5GB of high-speed international data for most countries, and you can upgrade your device every two years. Pricing starts at $85/month for a single line, but its best value is with a four-line family plan at just $170/month ($42.50 per line).
While T-Satellite is not technically included in the Experience More plan, T-Mobile is including it for free through the end of the year. After that, it’s available as a $15/month paid add-on.
