In response to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, Starlink and T-Mobile have activated their Direct-to-Cell service for affected residents. This satellite-to-phone technology enables users to send critical text messages to first responders and loved ones despite the loss of terrestrial networks. The temporary deployment allows select Android smartphones to utilize this emergency feature. Originally planned for a beta rollout, the service was expedited due to the urgent need for communication. Starlink's initiative aims to provide essential connectivity during these devastating circumstances.
