Although T-Satellite is a T-Mobile service, US users on rival carriers can access the satellite connectivity too for $10 per month. Here's how it works and how to sign up.

T-Mobile has launched its direct-to-device (D2D) satellite service, T-Satellite, across the US. The service, which is supported by SpaceX's Starlink, is now commercially available for T-Mobile customers, plus AT&T and Verizon customers. (Update: Starlink is currently suffering from a global outage .)

SpaceX, which has long deployed its Starlink satellites from Florida, is increasingly launching the missions from California. There's a good reason.
