T-Mobile and Starlink are getting ready to test their satellite messaging platform. The carrier is currently accepting registrations for the beta run of the service, and while anyone can register, not everyone will ultimately get to test it.
In its FAQ section about the satellite messaging beta, T-Mobile notes that not all smartphones will be supported at the get-go. “During the beta, to ensure a great customer experience, we are optimizing the experience on select smartphones,” T-Mobile writes.
