T-MOBILE USERS CAN TRY STARLINK-ENABLED PHONE SERVICE FOR FREE DURING BETA

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

T-Mobile has open registration for the beta of its T-Mobile Starlink service, which will enable text messaging via satellites in dead zones not covered by cell towers. The service uses Starlink's low-Earth orbit satellites to provide coverage. SpaceX has so far launched over 300 satellites with direct-to-cell capabilities. The beta will begin in early 2025. It will be open to all T-Mobile postpaid customers for free, but capacity is limited.
