Starlink direct from satellite to cell phone Internet connection starts beta test in 3 days.

​​​​​​​STARLINK’S NEXT BIG THING: CELL SERVICE FROM SPACE

SpaceX is testing a game-changing Starlink upgrade: Direct-to-Cell satellites that connect mobile phones to cellular service anywhere on Earth—even in the middle of nowhere.

These satellites act as “cell towers in space,” letting you text, call, or browse without needing a signal from ground towers. No new phone or hardware required!

The beta starts Jan. 27 and aims to eliminate dead zones worldwide, making it possible to call for help, no matter where you are.
