T-Mobile will use SpaceX satellites for new remote phone service
T-Mobile US Inc. has partnered with Elon Musk's SpaceX to offer wireless telephone service in remote parts of the United States where coverage is very poor.
The service will be launched next year.
Musk said the satellite service would work even during hurricanes and natural disasters that take out traditional cell towers. He said it would eventually save the lives of people injured or stranded in remote parts of the world.
The billionaire added that SpaceX is offering an "open invitation" to other carriers to work with Starlink. Eventually, the service will even be able to work in space.
Musk also later tweeted that the service will be added to Tesla Inc. cars so that drivers can make emergency calls and send text messages, Bloomberg.
