Elon Musk announced that the beta test for Starlink’s direct satellite-to-cell phone internet connection will commence on January, 2025.
T-Mobile has opened registration for this beta program, inviting postpaid customers with compatible devices to participate. The initial phase will support text messaging, with plans to expand to voice and data services over time.
This initiative aims to eliminate cellular dead zones by providing coverage in areas lacking traditional cell tower infrastructure. The beta test is expected to run until July, 2025, and is part of a broader effort to enhance connectivity through satellite technology.
