T-Mobile U.S. Carrier said that the combination of Elon Muskin Starling satellites for text messages and data will cost customers after a free trial period for $ 15 (R278)/month.
The company announced in a Super Bowl ad that the service is now in Beta mode and can register online for users to participate. In a significant development, people with other carriers such as Verizon Communications and AT and D have supported digital SIM cards, and they can try the T-Mobile Starling service on the phones they exist.
Beginning in July, this perk will cost $ 10 for those who participate in most of the projects or tests for T-Mobile users. According to Mike Gads, the D-Mobile Chairman of the Marketing, Strategy and Products, it does not charge extra for users in the company’s expensive GO5G next scheme. Verizon and AT and D customers will be charged $ 20 per month.
First of all, the service will only include satellite support text message in mobile dead zones, but the company plans to add voice, image news and other data services on the road. “We basically put the cell towers into space,” Gats said.
T-Mobile and Starling, regardless of the user’s carrier, issued emergency SMS and warnings in the disaster zones last year, and then the regulatory permit was granted.
Following Sunday’s notice reports Added Apple support For its latest iPhone software, the Starling Network expands the option beyond the Samsung Electronics phones already in T-Mobile networks. Apple offers a universal Star offering separately, which helps to send consumer texts and contact emergency responders when it is outside the cellular range.
