- T -Mobile has allegedly opened its satellite beta program to users at other networks.
- The beta program allows you to send texts and share your location without cellular coverage.
- Testors on other networks require an open, “satellite optimized” phone with ESIM support.
T -Mobile has been offering satellite connectivity as part of the beta program for a while. The program was initially limited to T -Mobile users, but the company was accepting users’ signups on other networks. Now, the career has apparently opened a son for these users.
Twitter user and Android police Founder Artem Rosakoski published an email screenshots in which he was invited to the T -Mobile satellite beta program despite being an AT&T subscriber. The email has confirmed that you do not need to become a T -Mobile customer and suggests that you just need a unlock, “satellite optimized” phone. The carrier’s support page also notes that your unpaid device needs ESIM support so you can switch between satellite service and your regular network.
The so -called T -satellite son will continue for 90 days. During this period, you can expect a free satellite service, 50GB of “high -speed” mobile data and unlimited texting, and T -Mobile Benefits such as discounted movie tickets and travel bookings. Once the beta program is over, the carrier says you can sign up for a satellite for $ 10 a month instead of $ 15 per month.
TT Satellite supports texting through beta satellite, if you are in a remote area without cellular coverage, you allow you to stay in touch with your loved ones. The service also supports the sharing of location through Google Messages and Issez. However, T -Mobile has promised that its satellite service will present data connectivity, photo -sharing and voice calls in the future.
