In the U.S., the unique T-Satellite service from T-Mobile and Starlink has begun operating. Its main feature is that it works directly on ordinary smartphones without antennas or additional equipment. The phone automatically connects to the satellite when there is no network, allowing messages to be sent even in the most remote parts of the country.
The service is based on 657 Starlink satellites, covering 1.3 million square kilometers. It is supported on recent devices from Apple, Samsung, Google and Motorola. For T-Mobile subscribers, the service is included in the plan, while AT&T and Verizon customers can add it for $10 per month via eSIM.
Support for WhatsApp and other popular apps will appear in October, and emergency messages, including 911, will become free for everyone by the end of the year. T-Satellite is not just communication, but a technological breakthrough that erases the boundaries of mobility.
