My 90-day free trial with T-Mobile’s T-Satellite comes with some cool extras
Yes, you’ll be able to send emergency texts to 911 and even share your location via text. Compatible phones will automatically connect to T-Satellite when no cellular signal can be found and the sky is clear. You will also get access to T-Mobile‘s 5G network for 90 days including 50GB of high-speed data and unlimited texts. You’ll also be eligible to claim the perks from T-Mobile Tuesdays, the industry’s best customer rewards program.
After the 90 days is up, you’ll lose access to T-Mobile‘s cellular network and T-Mobile Tuesdays unless you decide to subscribe to T-Mobile.

When you join the beta, you will have to give T-Mobile a valid credit card. That’s because after the 90 days expire, you’ll be charged $10 a month for the satellite service which is a $5-a-month savings from the regular $15/month price. You can call to cancel before the free trial expires
When you do join the beta you will have to give T-Mobile your phone’s unique IMEI number which, on iOS, you can find by going to Settings > General > About. Look for the number next to IMEI. On Android go to Settings > About phone and scroll down to the IMEI number.

If your phone has dual eSIMs, which are embedded in your phone’s motherboard, you can follow the directions to have T-Mobile use an open eSIM while your current carrier uses the other eSIM. If your phone has just a single eSIM, you will need to get a physical SIM card for your carrier to allow T-Satellite to use your eSIM. It’s also possible that if you agree to allow T-Mobile to use an eSIM on your phone and you only have one, you will lose your connection with your current carrier.
