Deal Details
The beta is free until July at which point T-Mobile Starlink [t-mobile.com] will be included at no extra cost on Go5G Next (including variations like Go5G Next 55+), T-Mobile's best plan. Business customers will also get T-Mobile Starlink at no extra cost on Go5G Business Next, first responder agencies on T-Priority plans and other select premium rate plans. T-Mobile customers on any other plan can add the service for $15/month per line.

Through February, T-Mobile customers who have registered for the beta can secure a $10/month per line Early Adopter Discount, 33% off the full price.

AT&T and Verizon customers hate dead zones, too

When your service is amazing and different, you want as many people to try it as possible. T-Mobile is giving AT&T and Verizon customers the opportunity to try out T-Mobile Starlink satellite service on their existing phones. With T-Mobile Starlink, every compatible smartphone can turn into a satellite phone — no fancy equipment needed. During the beta period, Verizon and AT&T customers can experience T-Mobile Starlink text messaging for free, and once the service launches in July, it will be available for $20/month per line.

T-Mobile Starlink Beta Registration

The beta phase gives T-Mobile the means to test the service gradually before launching in July to the hundreds of millions of wireless users who can benefit from our vision of nearly ubiquitous coverage.

Everyone on any carrier — including businesses and first responders — can sign up for the beta. Users will be enrolled on an ongoing basis to help test the system and provide feedback before launching in July.

More details and consumer registration can be found here [t-mobile.com].

Businesses and first responder agencies can register here [t-mobile.com].

Anyone on any carrier can sign up now to join the beta test and get satellite-powered messaging-at no extra cost until July.

The T-Mobile Starlink beta allows you to be among the first to experience satellite-to-mobile connectivity for free. By joining, you'll help us shape the future of this service by testing it and providing valuable feedback.

T-Mobile Starlink beta will begin with text-only messaging through your phone's native messaging app. This means you can send and receive standard text-based messages, including texts to 911. In the future, T-Mobile Starlink will also include picture messaging, data services and voice calling

The free beta will continue until T-Mobile Starlink launches in July of this year.

Do I need a specific phone for T-Mobile Starlink?
Most smartphones from the last four years will work with T-Mobile Starlink.

Satellite networks work differently from traditional cellular networks, so to ensure the best possible experience, smartphones need to be satellite optimized. We're collaborating with our handset partners to optimize as many smartphones as possible, starting with newer devices.

These devices will work with T-Mobile Starlink (this list will be updated regularly):

Apple iPhone 14 and later (including Plus, Pro & Pro Max)
Google Pixel 9 (including Pro, Pro Fold, & Pro XL)
Motorola 2024 and later (including razr, razr+, edge and g series)
Samsung Galaxy A14, A15, A16, A35, A53, A54
Samsung Galaxy S21 and later (including Plus, Ultra and Fan Edition)
Samsung Galaxy X Cover6 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 and later
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 and later
REVVL 7 (including Pro)
NOTE: Phone needs to be on the latest software to use T-Mobile Starlink

No $15/mo. The $10 "early adopter" price is 33% off regular, so 15 less 33% is 10. Yep, sms only for now. Doesn't really seem worth it for a regular person (not a first responder, important business person, guy who presses the 'stop' button in a nuclear plant meltdown) unless you're regularly way out in the sticks or going somewhere that may not fully developed.

Yeah, that is way too expensive for a per line per month. 33% of my current plan cost for 3 lines. I think ill pass, but maybe consider it when I travel out of the country if the data works.

Apparently iPhones already have this feature, because Apple has their own satellite system. So you don't need T-Mobile Starlink if you have an iPhone.
