Here's the scoop: Back in December, T-Mobile announced a partnership between itself and SpaceX to bring Starlink service to customers. Then, in January, the company started accepting users into the beta, but only those with specific, recent Samsung devices.
Finally, in a Super Bowl Sunday advertisement, T-Mobile announced it was opening its Starlink beta to the whole U.S.—including users on both Verizon and AT&T. While there were restrictions, if you were interested in trying out T-Mobile's satellite service, you could throw your name in the ring.
If you're interested in getting into T-Mobile's Starlink beta, you first need a compatible unlocked device that uses eSIM. T-Mobile has a list of compatible devices on its official Starlink site, and includes the following:
Apple iPhone 13 mini
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

From here, you'll need to head to T-Mobile's official Starlink page, and choose "Register for the beta now" or scroll down to the registration section. You'll need to enter your first and last name, email address, and phone number. Again, anyone on any carrier can request to join the beta—you don't need T-Mobile.
T-Mobile encourages you to download the T-Life app if you sign up, but be warned: The app records your screen by default when actively using T-Life. You need to manually disable that feature if you want to retain some privacy.
What's the big deal with satellite connectivity?
To be clear, this feature only works when you do not have available cellular service. When this happens, your phone will then automatically connect to the nearest satellites. You will not have the option to manually connect to satellites when you have a network connection.
That said, this is not the first time iPhones have been able to connect to satellites. Apple has offered satellite connectivity since 2022, when it debuted "Emergency SOS via satellite" with the iPhone 14. The company expanded upon the feature with iOS 18: Before, you could only contact emergency services or roadside assistance via satellite, but since last year's big update, you've been able to send messages to anyone.
This article was updated on Tuesday, June 3 to reflect T-Mobile's plan to offer the Starlink beta to everyone.
