T-Mobile Starlink Beta Invites Rolling Out to Android and iOS Devices (Updated)

• Updated 12/30: The original poster, who was using an iPhone, claimed he received a text message with access rights but later deleted his Reddit account. This is indeed strange, and as far as we know, the Samsung phone people have not been officially invited, they are just doing some preparations. So since the OP has decided to disappear, we’re going to tell you to sit back and wait until we see the actual rollout. It now appears that several people in the original post were just confused and weren’t actually invited. We also apologize for the confusion caused on our end.

When T-Mobile and Starlink announced T-Mobile Starlinka satellite internet service that could one day provide data connectivity to your T-Mobile phone in remote areas, they tell us, Registration for the beta program is now open. The plan (at least when initially signing up) is to get people lining up to get the service, which will launch in early 2025.

Several people reported receiving a text message inviting them to set up T-Mobile Starlink. We’re talking about potential early access for both iPhone and Android users, so it’s not a case of one platform being favored over the other. In fact, I’ve seen reports from iPhone 15 Pro to Galaxy S24+ and Galaxy Z Fold 6 users. Some Pixel 9 Pro users are saying the same thing, but they may be confusing the satellite capabilities already included in their Pixel phones with T-Mobile Starlink.

For Samsung phone users, there is a new setting called “Satellite Network” (Settings > Connections > Satellite Network), and it is specifically mentioned that you need to “contact T-Mobile for details” to learn how to use it. its work. I think you need to be invited. For iPhone and iOS users, this setting is hidden in Settings > Cellular, then hidden in your active SIM card.

But when it comes to invitations, folks on iOS Report They received an invitation text message from T-Mobile after signing up for the T-Mobile Starlink beta program. I haven’t seen anyone on Android say the same thing, they just Discover These new satellite settings are available for supported devices running on T-Mobile.

To recap, T-Mobile Starlink will initially launch as a way to send text messages or text messages via Starlink satellites in remote areas without traditional data connections from T-Mobile towers. Ultimately, the plan is to provide calling and data connectivity, making it a true remote Internet service.
