Earlier this week, Musk said that T-Mobile US Inc. subscribers will get direct-to-cell satellite connectivity with the help of Starlink later this year. The service will be available to T-Mobile customers in the U.S. exclusively for a year before the company opens it up to other carriers, he added.
本週早些時候，馬斯克表示，t-Mobile US Inc. 的訂閱用戶將在今年晚些時候通過 Starlink 獲得直連電信衛星的連接。他補充說，該服務將在美國獨家向 T-Mobile 客戶提供一年，然後再向其他運營商開放。
T-Mobile and SpaceX announced a partnership in August 2022 aiming to connect the smartphones on the carrier's network to Starlink satellites. The partnership is aimed at providing connectivity to remote locations that are untouched by cell signals from any provider.
t-Mobile 和 SpaceX 在2022年8月宣佈了一項合作，旨在將載有該運營商網絡上連接到 Starlink 衛星的智能手機連接起來。該合作旨在爲沒有任何運營商提供蜂窩信號的偏遠地區提供連接。
