The companies claim that next-generation Starlink satellites, set to launch next year, will be able to communicate directly with phones, letting you text, make calls, and potentially stream video even when there are no cell towers nearby. What\u2019s more, Musk promised all this is possible with phones that people are using today, without consumers having to buy any extra equipment.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bold proclamation from the carrier \u2014 Verizon and AT&T don\u2019t offer anything like it. However, SpaceX and T-Mobile aren\u2019t the only companies looking to use satellites to directly communicate with cell phones using existing cell spectrum. For years<\/a> a company called AST SpaceMobile has promised that it will beam broadband to phones from space, and a company called Lynk Global has already demonstrated<\/a> that its satellite \u201ccell towers\u201d can be used to send text messages from regular phones. It\u2019s easy to imagine that these companies would be afraid that two giants were suddenly looking to get in on a similar game \u2014 but it turns out that\u2019s not the case at all. They actually seem delighted.<\/p>\n \u201cWe love the validation and the attention that this is bringing to this technology,\u201d said Lynk\u2019s CEO, Charles Miller, in an interview with The Verge<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019ve been getting all kinds of calls of carriers today who are like \u2018help us!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
