So many things:
T-Mobile Starlink is available to anyone on any carrier. Other carrier services are limited to their customers only, to the extent they are available.- Our partner, Starlink, is the undisputed leader in satellite technology. With over 565 satellites in orbit, it is the world’s largest satellite-to-mobile constellation. Others have a small fraction of that many satellites in orbit.
- Our service uses
T-Mobile network technology so thatT-Mobile Starlink automatically connects to most smartphones launched in the last four years – regardless of OS. Other services don’t use any carrier network technology, don’t auto-connect, and are restricted to a specific OS and fewer devices. - We worked closely with Apple and Google to make
T-Mobile Starlink the default satellite connection on their smartphones. - Our service is live in beta today with thousands of customers using it now – and more being admitted all the time. Other carrier services hardly even exist and have no customers
- We have a roadmap to go beyond text messaging to deliver picture messaging, data services and voice calling as well as roaming with other Starlink partners around the globe and coverage in international waters in the future.
