T-Mobile Customers Can Now Use Satellite Connectivity in Canada and New Zealand

[MacRumors]

T-Mobile's Starlink satellite connectivity is now available for T-Mobile users who are traveling in Canada and New Zealand.

T-Mobile users have previously had access to cellular connectivity through roaming agreements in Canada and New Zealand, and now T-Satellite connectivity is included. Canada satellite coverage is enabled through Rogers Satellite, and in New Zealand, satellite coverage is provided by One NZ. Both Rogers and One NZ have agreements with Starlink provider SpaceX.

T-Mobile updated its website to mention satellite roaming last week, and the company says that support for other locations will be coming in the future. T-Mobile is working with global roaming partners and SpaceX to expand T-Satellite.

T-Satellite is available to T-Mobile subscribers in the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and parts of southern Alaska. It is also now available in Canada and New Zealand, with a coverage map available on the T-Mobile website.

Rogers and One NZ customers can also use T-Satellite when traveling in the United States as part of the new partnership.

T-Mobile's satellite connectivity launched in July 2025 after several months of beta testing, and it is compatible with the iPhone 13 and later. In October 2025, T-Mobile added support for using satellite data with some third-party apps, an option not available with Apple's built-in satellite feature on the iPhone 14 and later.

Like Apple's satellite option, T-Satellite kicks in when users do not have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection available. A view of open sky is required to establish connectivity, but there is no need to manually hold an iPhone to the sky to connect as there is with Apple's implementation.

T-Satellite works on Apple iPhones, and it can be used alongside the native satellite connectivity. Satellite service is included in T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plans, and is priced at $10 per line for other T-Mobile plans.

Smartphone users without T-Mobile service can sign up for T-Satellite for $10 per month.

Is the earth flat? Why a satellite wouldn't work in Mexico?

IDK, roaming agreements, maybe?

Oh gee this is going to be a tough one for the elbows up crowd. Starlink? Elon?

 

[Hogswarts]

T-Mobile users are more likely to give Elon the middle finger.

idk, I'm in NZ and when One NZ announced we get satellite from SpaceX I immediately went and disabled it on my phone. I think I'd have to be dying in the middle of nowhere to reenable it

 

[CarAnalogy]

T-Mobile users are more likely to give Elon the middle finger.

And thanks to his extensive network of satellites, he can now see it from Canada and New Zealand.

That's literally what it's for. Do yourself a favor and don't look up the personal lives of the inventors of every single technology you rely on...I have some bad news for you about cars...and not just the electric ones...

Congrats on eschewing incredible technology because of your political leanings.

You think it's political? Not at all. I think he's a terrible person in general - how he treats his workers for instance. I don't wish to support anything he makes. I also wouldn't buy a Tesla. So I don't get to use the 'incredible technology'? So what? It's my choice.

It's a disappointment to hear that T-Mobile is partnering with Elon Musk. I refuse to spend money on anything connected to him.

That said, I realize the extreme importance of sattelite connectivity for emergencies in areas with no cellular coverage, so I hope Apple somehow plays a role in influencing the near future of sattelite coverage, and does so without partnering with Starlink nor anything else connected to Musk.

Welp time to cancel T-Mobile. I don’t want a dime of my money going to that narcissistic fool.

Why, what did Carl Benz do wrong?

 

[fguerraz]

I hope that EU regulators have some sense and never allow this, we already have near zero digital sovereignty, that would be the ultimate nail in the coffin.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Why, what did Carl Benz do wrong?

Ha yeah I realized later I should have more broadly said executives of companies. The people who run the car companies are terrible people, most of the CEOs of any of these major companies are not people you want to support. AT&T is perhaps a better example. Or Edison. Or all these oil companies and power stuctures that came about because of the invention of the car.

Where’s the thumbs down button when you need it? Mikey, I take you’re moral-less.

Must be a long drop from atop your high moral tower.

Totally. When you taking a moral stance against Apple and its connection with Foxconn and the treatment of their employees? Oh you’re not. Kk cool lol

Firstly, even if that is true, how is it political? Unless you're equating Apple to the Democratic party? Tim did give Trump golden gifts to butter him up so I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion but let's address your argument. What mistreatment of Foxconn employees are you talking about specifically? Because I'm talking about how Tesla seem to be racist AF: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/18/business/tesla-black-worker-harassment-settlement-intl

My dislike for Elon has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with his he treats his workers, how he lies and rips off customers (FSD not coming to HW3 cars and no refunds, Roadster 8 years overdue but he won't cancel so he doesn't have to refund), how he manages to commit securities fraud with impunity. About how he lies constantly to pump up his company's valuations. About how Cybertrucks are defective and 17 times more likely to cook you than a Pinto. Literally NONE of that has anything to do with politics. I don't know what the Foxconn allegations you're on about are so I encourage you to cite SPECIFIC things rather than just wave your hand.

Oh and also a large part of my hate of Elon is because the whole Boring Company thing is his effort to stop cities investing in public transport and instead give him the money.

Anyway I'm done with this topic, you're never going to believe me. And I'm not sure how you think anything Elon has done was political - he got USAID shut down to stop investigations into his company, and you can say that DOGE stealing millions of people's social security info is just a bad idea in general and shouldn't be considered a political topic - I'd be just as furious about it if it was a Dem doing it - illegal is illegal no matter who is doing it. I won't be replying to this again, I feel I've made my position clear
