T-Mobile\u2019s satellite service has so far been a nice plan B rather than something you\u2019d use every day. It\u2019s a limited-speed backup option for when you\u2019re off-grid, and T-Mobile recently admitted that customers are using T-Satellite far less than expected. Still, the company is expanding its Starlink-powered safety net, and it can now follow you beyond the US.<\/p>\n

As spotted by Mobile Internet Resource Center, T-Mobile has expanded its roaming agreements with Rogers in Canada and One NZ in New Zealand to include satellite coverage. T-Mobile customers could already roam in Canada and New Zealand, but the new agreements mean T-Satellite can now also kick in there, giving travelers a little extra peace of mind. The arrangements are reciprocal, so Rogers customers with satellite service can roam onto T-Satellite coverage while in the US.<\/p>\n

Just like in the US, T-Satellite is still a backup connection in those countries for areas without normal cellular coverage. You\u2019ll need a compatible phone, a clear view of the sky, and the right conditions for your device to fall back to satellite in the first place. That caveat matters because T-Mobile has already been called out over how broadly it advertised T-Satellite. The company previously leaned on claims suggesting that simply seeing the sky was enough to stay connected, but the National Advertising Review Board recommended that T-Mobile pull back on that messaging.<\/p>\n

Still, this could be a meaningful upgrade if you travel through more remote parts of Canada or New Zealand, of which there are plenty. In such locales, the ability to get a basic message out is likely to be far more consequential than having a fast data connection. T-Mobile\u2019s coverage map now reflects the new coverage in Canada, with T-Satellite available up to the 58th parallel.<\/p>\n

T-Satellite is included with T-Mobile\u2019s top-tier smartphone plans for consumer and business customers. Other T-Mobile customers can add it for $10 per month, while non-T-Mobile customers can sign up with a compatible eSIM-capable phone.<\/p>\n
