T-Mobile has unexpectedly lowered the price for its new satellite service, now officially named T-Satellite. During a recent earnings call, T-Mobile President and CEO Mike Sievert announced the service will launch at a cost of just $10 per month. This is a significant reduction from the previously expected rates of $15 for T-Mobile customers and $20 for those switching from AT&T and Verizon. Sievert explained that the decision to reduce the price was influenced by strong customer interest, particularly from users of rival companies.
He stated, “I want to let you know that after gauging the incredible response from customers, including broader than expected interest from competitors’ customers, we’ve set our final launch pricing for T-Satellite at just $10 a month.” T-Satellite will be included for free with T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond and Go 5G Next plans. Sievert confirmed that the introductory pricing of $10 per month will be maintained for at least a year, ensuring that customers can benefit from this rate until at least July 2026. After this period, T-Mobile may re-evaluate the pricing.
The updated information on T-Mobile’s website indicates that customers from competitor networks can take advantage of the $10 monthly fee for a limited time, offering a $5 monthly savings. It also notes that Experience More customers will have access to T-Satellite without charge until the end of the current year. As the commercial service is set to commence in July, this pricing strategy aims to attract a wider customer base while providing significant savings for users.
