T-Mobile Starlink<\/strong><\/a> satellite service is the main reason I moved from Verizon to T-Mobile. Verizon used to work great here (7-miles north of Old Town, FL<\/i>) \u2013 but then they moved to 4G and service here became a dead spot. Used the old $20 Walmart flip-phones for Verizon, and when my 3G one went out early this year\u2014all they had were 4G phones. Have fiber internet so the WiFi-calling worked.<\/p>\n Just registered as a T-Mobile Starlink beta tester\u2014to test \u2018satellite-powered text messaging<\/i>\u2019.<\/p>\n When I read about T-Mobile Starlink satellite service earlier this year, I checked out the phones they said would be compatible with the service, and moved my phone number to a T-Mobile account and got a \u201cfree\u201d Galaxy A14 5G for the two-year contract. However<\/i>, for the beta test \u2013 even tho the \u2018Galaxy A14 5G supports 5G networks and various frequency bands, its compatibility with T-Mobile’s Starlink service <\/i>during the beta phase<\/b><\/i> would depend on whether it is included among the “optimized devices.”<\/i>\u2019 They don\u2019t have a list of phones out for beta testing yet, plus limited spots for testers, so will wait \u2018n see…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My plan is $40 a month plus fees & taxes that make it $44.42 a month, and I will not upgrade it when the full T-Mobile Starlink satellite service comes out. Maybe add it if it\u2019s no more than $5.00 a month. Also don\u2019t mind paying per call for the service, but don\u2019t want to get locked into an expensive plan for the service.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s some info:<\/p>\n SATELLITES LAUNCHED: 330 and counting!<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ve partnered with Starlink on a mission to eliminate dead zones for your cell phone with the largest satellite-to-cell constellation in the world.<\/p>\n At T-Mobile, your coverage goes beyond America\u2019s largest 5G network. Whether you\u2019re on a cross-country road trip, flight, or traveling the globe, we help you stay connected. And now, with an unprecedented amount of satellites in orbit and more launching each month, you can even be covered hiking through National Parks or at a concert in the desert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Great service if it\u2019s affordable. My unlimited Essentials 55+ plan is fine…WiFi calling here at home, but 5G most everywhere else I go. Company seems to look to the future for both technology and growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" T-Mobile Starlink satellite service is the main reason I moved from Verizon to T-Mobile.
