Not a T-Mobile subscriber? You can still try its satellite beta right now
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile has reportedly opened its satellite beta program to users on other networks. The beta program allows you to send texts and share your location without cellular coverage. Testers on other networks need an unlocked, 'satellite-optimized' phone with eSIM support. T-Mobile has been offering satellite connectivity as part of a beta program for a while now. This program was initially restricted to T-Mobile customers, but the company was accepting sign-ups from subscribers on other networks. Now, the carrier has apparently opened up the beta to these users. Twitter user and Android Police founder Artem Russakovskii posted screenshots of an email inviting him to the T-Mobile satellite beta program, despite being an AT&T subscriber. The email confirms that you don't need to be a T-Mobile customer and suggests that you only need an unlocked, 'satellite-optimized' phone. The carrier's support page also noted that your unlocked device needed eSIM support so you can switch between satellite service and your regular network. The so-called T-Satellite beta is scheduled to last for 90 days. During this period, you can expect free satellite service, 50GB of 'high-speed' mobile data and unlimited texting, and T-Mobile benefits like discounted movie tickets and travel bookings. Once the beta program ends, the carrier says you can sign up for T-Satellite at $10 a month instead of the regular $15 a month. The T-Satellite beta supports texting via satellite, allowing you to keep in touch with loved ones if you're in a remote area without cellular coverage. The service also supports location sharing via Google Messages and iMessage. However, T-Mobile has promised that its satellite service will offer data connectivity, photo sharing, and voice calls in the future. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Google finally fixes Gmail bugbear which has been around for years
Consider this: Gmail has existed for 21 years. Over the years, there has been a notable difference between the mobile and web versions of the email service. However, that disparity may no longer be an issue. Signatures have long been a feature available on Gmail's web version. Unfortunately, these signatures, which allow users to include important personal information with each email, did not transfer to the Gmail app for Android. Instead, separate signatures were necessary on that platform. As Android Police co-founder Artem Russakovskii has discovered, web signatures now carry over. As such, you can control Gmail's signature settings from Settings > See all settings > General > Signature on the web. If you have configured your signature to appear in new emails and replies, Gmail will automatically include it on both the web and mobile versions. There are a few limitations, however. First, while Gmail allows you to store multiple email signatures, you cannot switch between them in the mobile app. If you set a different signature using the Gmail app on Android, that signature will be used instead of the one you set on the web. Currently, there is no option to stop Gmail from adding a signature to emails sent from mobile devices. The only way to avoid this is to remove your web signature. Additionally, when you draft an email in the Gmail app on Android, the signature will automatically appear at the bottom of the message. If you prefer, you can manually delete it before sending the email. Currently, this signature change appears to only work on Gmail for Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S25. It does not impact the Gmail version for iOS.
