During Sunday’s Super Bowl game, T-Mobile officially threw open its satellite connectivity beta for everyone. Yes, you read that right. The Un-carrier has even invited AT&T and Verizon users to sign up for its satellite-connected services, which will be available free of cost until July. After July, the T-Mobile Starlink service will be included free on the carrier’s Go5G Next plan.
While many people already have access to T-Mobile’s satellite messaging service in partnership with Starlink, the official public beta announcement should bring availability to a lot more T-Mobile users, including those who are not on the network. The service extends connectivity to over 500,000 square miles of the US without traditional cell coverage.
