en.Wedoany.com Reported - T-Mobile's T-Satellite service is expanding beyond the United States, allowing users to send messages via satellite connection in cellular dead zones in Canada and New Zealand. Previously, the service was only available in the mainland United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and parts of Alaska. T-Mobile stated on its website: "Now T-Satellite has your back in places cell towers don't reach, including Canada and New Zealand."

Through Canadian operator Rogers and New Zealand operator One NZ (both SpaceX partners), T-Satellite offers roaming services. T-Mobile emphasized: "We're working with global roaming partners and SpaceX to bring T-Satellite to customers traveling to more places." The company confirmed the accuracy of the support page information, which includes the latest international roaming details.

The coverage map for T-Satellite now includes areas in Canada.

Starlink mobile roaming allows users to send text messages, use designated apps, and even make video calls in areas without signal. The service transitioned from a free beta to a paid feature costing $10 per month (free for users on the most expensive plan), resulting in lower actual usage than expected. T-Mobile's CEO revealed that most usage occurs in national parks without cell service. The satellite connection activates automatically when entering a dead zone.

Previously, Rogers had already offered Starlink mobile roaming to its domestic users earlier this month and plans to allow its users to use it in the United States. Another partner, KDDI, was the first to provide roaming between Japan and the U.S., and plans to expand to Canada, the Philippines, and New Zealand.
