T-Mobile customers have had access to satellite texting since early 2025. Sure, AT&T and Verizon users can also use the SpaceX-powered T-Satellite service, but that requires paying $10 a month per line and fiddling with an eSIM. Besides, nothing beats a native experience. That is coming soon, according to AT&T's and Verizon's satellite partner AST SpaceMobile. Promises, promises AST SpaceMobile has pledged to activate intermittent service across the US and other key markets by the end of 2026....

Me to, backpacking in wilderness. But if one breaks a leg out there, nice to have T-Satellite to let someone know via text msg -- or to let folks know you're staying an extra night. I still don't have to talk to anyone... I'm with AT&T, and have an iPhone. The iPhone Globalstar satellites are far inferior to the SpaceX ones, so I pay $10/month to put T-mobile text-only service on second eSIM slot. Better than paying Garmin and carrying an extra gadget... Also, can get weather now, and send MMS pics, and if you install Yahoo email client, even use email (doesn't have to be Yahoo email address, either -- I'm on a personal domain hosted by Gmail).
