T-Mobile shocked the industry with the unveiling of its latest venture during its stellar first quarter financial report for 2025. The company not only achieved its best Q1 performance ever but also claimed the title for the best quarter in the telecom industry.
T-Mobile made the bold claim of being the sole carrier in the US with a satellite network compatible with most modern smartphones, though rivals such as
Verizon and
AT&T may contest this assertion. While exact user numbers remain undisclosed, the direct-to-cell service reportedly caters to hundreds of thousands of users, showcasing a growing demand for the service.
T-Mobile's satellite service remains in beta testing but is slated for an official launch in July as per CEO Mike Sievert's announcement. In a strategic move, the monthly price has been slashed from the initial $20 rate to just $10 for
AT&T and
Verizon customers.
T-Mobile touts its 5G Advanced network deployment, a cutting-edge 5G standard that leverages technologies like carrier aggregation and L4S for enhanced efficiency and reliability. This upgrade positions
T-Mobile as the leader in download speeds and 5G availability in the telecom landscape.
