T-Mobile Launches Free Text-to-911 via Satellite for Everyone

T-Mobile is expanding its T-Satellite service to include free texting to 911 emergency services via satellite for all cell phone users in the US, not just T-Mobile customers. Although the service is free, it does require enrollment. T-Mobile customers can log in to their account and add the free add-on to their plan. Non-customers can enroll here. T-Satellite also offers a paid service with non-emergency messaging and data for select apps, for $10/month. T-Satellite is available to both T-Mobile and non-T-Mobile customers, allowing anyone to stay in touch even in cellular dead zones. Apple and Google phones that have their own satellite SOS feature will default to that service instead of T-Satellite. T-Satellite is powered by over 650 satellites in SpaceX's Starlink constellation.
