There was an article recently saying that they'd be testing the service in December [1]. I would've taken that to mean that the hardware is up there and just undergoing preparation, but this is SpaceX, they launch like every 4 days, I guess they very well can have not launched the ones with this functionality yet.
[1] Can't find the one I had read, but this one published just a few minutes ago also mentions this https://cordcuttersnews.com/spacexs-starlink-is-looking-for-partners-to-offer-texts-calls-lte-data-from-space/ https://cordcuttersnews.com/spacexs-starlink-is-looking-for-...
- mlindner 3y agoI’m not seeing your claim in that linked article unless I missed it. It talks about v2 satellites, which have yet to launch.
- dotnet00 3y agoSearch for "December" in the text. Unless you're referring to the bit about if the satellites are already up there, which is just my own thoughts rather than a statement of fact.
- mlindner 3y agoOkay I see that now, but I think that's referring back to earlier in the article where it says: > The companies had targeted beta trials at the end of this year following the launch of Starlink V2 satellites, according to CNET. Which also contains a link to an article from 2022 that was published during the original announcement of the T-Mobile partnership. However those satellites didn't get launched because of the delays of Starship.
