After spending the first half of the year in beta testing, T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered satellite service will go public on July 23rd. T-Mobile says that MMS on iOS is “to follow.” And on October 1st, its satellite connectivity will get another upgrade: data. T-Mobile’s approach to satellite connectivity looks a little different from the competition’s. Verizon and AT&T have both partnered with AST SpaceMobile to provide satellite service to customers. Verizon and AT&T have taken issue with T-Mobile and Starlink’s parent company, SpaceX, claiming its satellite implementation will hamper their efforts.
