So, how does the satellite service work? Once you get out of the traditional cellular range, your service will switch over to T-Satellite automatically, using “Direct to Cell technology” to keep you connected via satellite no matter where you are. Once you’re connected, T-Mobile will send you a text notifying you that you’ve been connected to the satellite network. You’ll be able to both send and receive basic text messages. They are currently working on adding in additional features including photo sharing, data usage, and making voice calls soon. When you get back into regular coverage, you’ll switch back to your normal cellular network.

This service is also not exclusive to T-Mobile users, both Verizon and AT&T members can sign up for T-Satellite coverage. The service is currently in its beta stage, which is free to all, but when T-Satellite launches in July, it will be included with T-Mobile’s Experience plans. For a limited time, when customers sign up for Experience More, they will get free satellite service through the end of the year. Everybody else, including Verizon and AT&T customers, can get it for a limited time for $10/mo, saving $5/mo from the original $15/mo pricing.

Sign up for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service on the brand’s site here and join the mission to end dead zones.
