Only These 11 Cell Phone Models Will Be Compatible With Elon Musk’s New Internet

T-Mobile and Starlink Join Forces in Innovative Project Promising to Bring Satellite Internet Directly to Mobile Phones, Expanding Signal in Isolated Areas and Revolutionizing Mobile Connectivity

T-Mobile and Starlink, a company in Elon Musk’s group, announced a new connectivity project. The proposal is to use low-earth orbit satellites to enhance internet signal, especially in isolated regions. The plan could change the landscape of global connectivity, according to the involved companies.

The main novelty lies in how mobile phones connect to the internet. With this technology, devices will be able to access Starlink satellites directly.

This eliminates the need for satellite dishes or other equipment. The satellites function as cell towers in space, representing a significant advancement in providing internet to areas where terrestrial networks do not reach.

The project is still in the testing phase. The idea is to allow customers from various carriers, such as Verizon and AT&T, to use the new network as well.

According to T-Mobile, over 500,000 square miles (approx. 804,672 km) of the United States, currently without coverage, could benefit from the new system. The areas include rural regions, remote locations, and even stretches of oceans.

Compatible Models

However, not all mobile phones will be compatible. Only 11 models will be able to use the network. Among them are iPhones 14, 15, and 16; Google Pixel 9; Motorola Razr 2024 and other devices from the brand; as well as various models from Samsung, such as Galaxy S21 to S25. There is still no set date for the official launch.

List of Compatible Models:

• Apple: iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16
• Google: Pixel 9
• Motorola: Razr (2024), Razr Plus (2024), Moto Edge, Moto G Power 5G (2024)
• Samsung: Galaxy A14 to A54, Galaxy S21 to S25, Galaxy Z Flip 3 to Z Flip 6
