"While not yet ready for full commercial service, T-Mobile Starlink was turned on temporarily to provide a critical communication option for those without any other means to reach emergency responders and loved ones during Hurricanes Helene and Milton."
"Even without the full constellation in place, customers with capable devices were able to receive critical emergency alerts and send and receive messages when satellites were overhead."
"The carrier said users will not need to hold their phone up to search for a signal. Both inbound and outbound messages are sent and received just like any other message."
"T-Mobile Starlink will mak[e] the phone in your pocket work in areas of the US that have never, and probably never will, have ground based coverage."
