# **T-Mobile Starlink: What You Should Know About the Satellite-Enabled Service**
T-Mobile has made the official announcement regarding its new **T-Mobile Starlink** service, a satellite-enabled mobile network created in collaboration with SpaceX’s Starlink division. This service is designed to deliver connectivity in regions where standard cell towers are absent, providing coverage in remote and rural areas.
With beta registration currently available and a full rollout anticipated in July 2025, here’s all the information you need about **T-Mobile Starlink**, covering pricing, compatibility, and upcoming plans.

## **What Is T-Mobile Starlink?**
T-Mobile Starlink is a **satellite-driven mobile service** that enables users to send text messages in locations that lack conventional cellular coverage. The service utilizes **Starlink’s Direct to Cell satellites**, which have been deployed over the last 13 months.
The main objective of this service is to eradicate **dead zones**—the estimated **500,000 square miles** in the U.S. that are devoid of any cellular service. When a user enters these areas, their phone will automatically interface with a Starlink satellite.
At this time, the service **only supports texting**, but **voice calls and data services** are anticipated for future inclusion.

## **Who Can Use T-Mobile Starlink?**
Although the service is labeled as **T-Mobile Starlink**, it is not limited to T-Mobile users. **Verizon and AT&T customers** are also eligible to use the service without needing to change their carriers. They will, however, require an **unlocked phone with eSIM capability**, which enables them to set up a **second eSIM** for Starlink access.
Moreover, T-Mobile has collaborated with **international carriers** to facilitate **global roaming**. Participating providers include companies in **Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Chile, Peru, Canada, and Ukraine**.

## **Future Plans: Voice Calls & Data Services**
Currently, T-Mobile Starlink offers only **text messaging**, but **voice calls and mobile data** services are on the horizon. This expansion is contingent upon **approval from the regulatory body**, the **Federal Communications Commission (FCC)**.
SpaceX has submitted a **request for a waiver from the FCC** to enable its satellites to function at full capacity. However, **Verizon and AT&T have contested this request**, alleging that Starlink’s signals could disrupt their existing operations.
The FCC has **authorized Starlink’s basic mobile service plan** but has **not yet** approved further expansions.
