T-Mobile’s cellular Starlink service can already send satellite-based SMS messages from phones in mobile dead zones. But starting in October, it will add support for data in select third-party apps, including WhatsApp and X. T-Mobile's Starlink, known as T-Satellite, is currently available as a free beta, but officially launches on July 23, the carrier confirmed yesterday. On that day, T-Mobile will also add MMS support (first on Android phones and later on iPhone), meaning users will be able to send images and audio clips in addition to the standard text messages. On Oct. 1, the T-Satellite service will then receive the data support for a select group of third-party apps, including those from Google and Apple, along with AccuWeather and hiking guide app AllTrails. Eligible subscribers will be able use such apps in cellular dead zones by connecting to SpaceX’s orbiting satellites. The list of supported apps is bound to grow over time. #starlink #spaceX #tsatellite #tmobile #technew...
