A wide variety of phones were compatible with the service, including many Samsung Galaxy phones.\n<\/p>\n<p>However, a T-Mobile customer support representative shared incorrect information regarding the Galaxy S23 being dropped from the list of eligible devices. The carrier has now confirmed that this isn&#8217;t the case, and that the Galaxy S23 continues to be supported for the Starlink beta. <\/p>\n<p>\nT-Mobile hasn&#8217;t made any significant trims to the list of eligible phones\n<\/p>\n<p>A Galaxy S23 owner on T-Mobile contacted the carrier&#8217;s customer support regarding compatibility and was told that the list has been reduced, with the Galaxy S23 being no longer supported. T-Mobile had previously confirmed that all Galaxy S21 and above phones were compatible. A Galaxy S21 Ultra was even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/galaxy-s21-ultra-starlink-satellite-to-phone-service-test-peak-download-speed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">used to test the service<\/a> before it was launched.\n<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/t-mobile-starlink-beta-list-of-eligible-devices-reduced-some-phones-no-longer-allowed_id170719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed<\/a> to PhoneArena that the customer support representative was mistaken, and that the Galaxy S23 continues to be supported. The current list of Galaxy phones eligible for the T-Mobile Starlink beta include the Galaxy S21 series and up, the Galaxy Z Flip 3\/ZFold 3 and later foldables, the Galaxy A36, and the X Cover 7 Pro.\n<\/p>\n<p>So Galaxy S23 owners should rest assured that they will have the ability to send and receive text messages, participate in group chats and even react to messages over satellite. T-Mobile recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/anyone-can-now-use-the-t-mobile-starlink-beta-on-a-galaxy-phone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">opened up this service to everyone<\/a>, even those not on its network, so it wouldn&#8217;t make sense for the carrier to trim the list of eligible devices soon after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"T-Mobile&#8217;s Starlink beta went live in the United States a few months ago, enabling users to send and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[56636,547,3435,14830,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-128422","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-galaxy-s23","9":"tag-mobile","10":"tag-starlink","11":"tag-t-mobile","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114563713800164928","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
