As per reports, the Direct-to-Cell satellites allow mobile phones to be linked to cellular services from any part of the earth. Founder of IBC Group Mario Nawfal wrote that, “SpaceX is testing a game-changing Starlink upgrade: Direct-to-Cell satellites that connect mobile phones to cellular service anywhere on Earth—even in the middle of nowhere.”
He further wrote that, “These satellites act as “cell towers in space,” letting you text, call, or browse without needing a signal from ground towers. No new phone or hardware required! The beta starts Jan. 27 and aims to eliminate dead zones worldwide, making it possible to call for help, no matter where you are.”
The test will start on January 27, 2025, according to the update from Elon Musk.
