T-Mobile launches $15/month Starlink service in July

T-Mobile is set to launch its satellite-to-cell service, powered by Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink, in July for $15 per month, following a beta trial that began recently. The service aims to eliminate mobile dead zones by providing connectivity to 500,000 square miles of the U.S. that are unreachable by traditional cell towers. During the beta phase, customers can access the service for free, with a 33% discount available upon commercial launch. T-Mobile's offering will initially support texting via satellite, with plans to add voice and data services later. Notably, customers from rival carriers like Verizon and AT&T will also be able to access the service, which integrates with modern smartphones. This initiative represents a significant advancement in mobile connectivity, bridging traditional networks with satellite technology.
