T-Mobile Lowers Price for Cellular Starlink as Satellite Competition Heats Up


When T-Mobile launches support for cellular Starlink in July, customers on all carriers will pay $5 to $10 less per month than originally planned.

"After gauging the incredible response from customers—including broader than expected interest from competitor’s customers—we’ve set our final launch pricing for T-Satellite at just $10 a month," T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert said during a Thursday earnings call. The cellular Starlink service essentially operates as an orbiting cell tower system that can beam text-based messages to users in rural and remote locations. Some early customer testimonials have reported shaky signal quality, but T-Mobile has told PCMag it’s working to improve the service based on user feedback.
