Musk's Starlink hit with hours-long outage after rollout of T-Mobile satellite service
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – T-Satellite enables texting and emergency 911 messages beyond traditional networks using 650+ Starlink satellites, available to T-Mobile and other carriers for a fee.
- The Starlink-powered satellite service from T-Mobile called T-Satellite rolled out to the public on Thursday, opening to all US-based customers after nearly six months of beta testing.
- Over the past few years, T-Mobile partnered with SpaceX’s Starlink to develop T-Satellite, which entered beta in January 2025 for select Samsung devices.
- Using over 650 satellites, T-Satellite enables text messaging—including to 911—and location sharing when cellular signals are unavailable.
- After beta, non-T-Mobile users on Verizon and AT&T can subscribe, with plans starting at $10 per month before rising to $15, T-Mobile said.
- T-Mobile plans to add picture sharing and data coverage for optimized apps, and current Starlink technology could support medium-resolution images plus music and podcast streaming, Musk said.
