T-Mobile Is Now Offering Starlink Connectivity On iPhone For Free Until July

T-Mobile has announced that it is launching a Starlink satellite communication feature in public beta, with anyone in the United States now able to take it for a spin.

The beta will be available for free until July which should give plenty of people time to put it through its spaces. The feature will allow people with compatible iPhones to stay connected even when there is no traditional cell signal available.

T-Mobile Starlink uses specially configured satellites with Direct-to-Cell capabilities orbiting the Earth 200+ miles up in space and traveling at over 17,000 miles per hour to deliver cell phone signals — text messages for now with picture messages, data and voice calls coming later — to and from locations traditional cell towers can’t reach (aka mobile dead zones).

The beta is available on the Go5G Next (including variations like Go5G Next 55+) plan while business customers on the Go5G Business Next plan are also good to go. T-Mobile also says that “customers who have registered for the beta can secure a $10/month per line Early Adopter Discount, 33% off the full price.” The catch is that they’ll need to sign up through February so keep that in mind if this is something you’re interested in trying out.

By offering Starlink satellite connectivity T-Mobile is making it easier for people to stay in touch and call for help when its standard network is unavailable, something that has the real potential to help save lives during natural disasters and more.
