View the full release here: https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250623904299\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n T-Mobile ushered in a new era for the wireless industry, announcing that it’s now officially the Best Mobile Network in America. This milestone comes as Ookla, a global leader in connectivity intelligence, named T-Mobile the Best Network in one of the biggest ever U.S.-based network tests of its kind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n\u201cFrom the time I joined T-Mobile 12 years ago, we\u2019ve been on a mission to build a network that puts customers first, not just to meet today\u2019s needs, but to power everything the future brings,\u201d said Mike Sievert, CEO, T-Mobile. \u201cWe made big bets on 5G, pushing the limits to deliver speed and coverage no one thought possible. Now, as the Best Mobile Network in America, with unmatched satellite-to-mobile capability, it\u2019s clear we\u2019re shaping the future of wireless with a network built not just for speed, but for possibility \u2014 and We. Won\u2019t. Stop. Because ensuring our network stays the best for our T-Mobile members is a mission that is never done.\u201d<\/p>\n \nBacked by half a billion real world tests on millions of devices, the results reflect how people actually use their phones for things like video streaming, web browsing and more. By measuring both speed and experience, Ookla confirmed T-Mobile\u2019s position at the top, surpassing both AT&T and Verizon.<\/p>\n \nAt the livestreamed event, the company shared that T-Mobile\u2019s innovative satellite-to-mobile service, T-Satellite with Starlink<\/a>, will be commercially available on July 23 and will include SMS texting, MMS, picture messaging and short audio clips. In addition, the company shared that on Oct. 1, T-Satellite will launch a data service to allow application experiences on the satellite network.<\/p>\n \nAfter more than a decade of strategic investment and innovation, T-Mobile now leads not only in 5G, but in overall network experience and<\/i> maintains its role as the value leader in the industry.<\/p>\n \nAnd beginning July 8, T-Mobile is adding even more value to most of its plans with free DashPass<\/a>, DoorDash\u2019s membership program that allows members to score $0 delivery charges and reduced service fees on eligible orders.<\/p>\n \nFinally, to make it easy for people to make the switch to T-Mobile, the company is introducing Easy Upgrade, a value-packed, simple path to leaving the carriers behind and joining America\u2019s Best Mobile Network.<\/p>\n T-Satellite Launches Nationwide July 23<\/strong><\/p>\n \nAs part of T-Mobile’s mission to be the best in the world at connecting customers to their world, the company set out to eliminate mobile dead zones for good \u2014 and now, it\u2019s taking a major step forward. On July 23, T-Satellite<\/a> will go live commercially, extending coverage into more than 500,000 square miles of U.S. territory that traditional cell towers can\u2019t reach, including Verizon and AT&T. With T-Satellite, T-Mobile is the first and only wireless provider in the U.S. with a satellite-to-mobile network that automatically connects to most smartphones made in the last four years, with no special equipment or setup required.<\/p>\n \nWith over 657 Starlink direct-to-cell satellites already in orbit, the beta program has been incredibly successful, with nearly 1.8 million users, including tens of thousands of customers from Verizon and AT&T. More than a million messages have been sent from areas unreachable by any terrestrial provider, from national parks and oil fields to remote corners of the country. And perhaps most telling, three times more messages have been received than sent, demonstrating that if you don\u2019t automatically connect, you aren\u2019t really connected.<\/p>\n \nAt launch, T-Satellite will support SMS for both Android and iOS subscribers, as well as MMS picture messaging and short audio clips for Android, with iOS support to follow. And for the first time, starting Oct. 1, a data-based service will go live!<\/p>\n \nTo ensure the best possible experience for customers on satellite, T-Mobile is working with a select group of the best, most widely used application providers in the categories most important to people traveling in parts unknown. We anticipate satellite enabled apps from AccuWeather, AllTrails, Apple, Google, WhatsApp and X, among many others in the future. Any app developer interested in how to get their app optimized for satellite data can email SatelliteApps@T-Mobile.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \nT-Satellite will be included at no extra cost with T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond plan. For everyone else \u2014 including AT&T and Verizon customers \u2014 the service will be available for just $10 per month. At launch the service includes 911 texting via satellite. Later this year, T-Satellite will provide 911 texting service to any mobile customer with a compatible device, regardless of carrier or whether or not they are subscribed to the service. Because everyone deserves peace of mind when they\u2019re off the grid.<\/p>\n Free DashPass by DoorDash<\/strong><\/p>\n \nAt T-Mobile, being a customer means more \u2014 it\u2019s like being a member of an exclusive club where the only requirement is choosing the Un-carrier.
