T-Mobile T-Satellite Starlink

Has anyone who is enrolled in the T-Mobile Starlink beta used it anywhere in Alaska that is not covered by cellular service?

T-Mobile's coverage map is obviously incorrect regarding satellite coverage, although it is titled as cellular and satellite. The map shows no coverage in areas that are obviously meant to show lack of cellular coverage, but you would expect to be covered by Starlink.

According to Starlink, coverage could be as far north as 60 deg latitude or a bit more.

I am not currently in Alaska to test.

I'm enrolled, but as far as I know, I've never used it. One of my responses to the survey was that I’d like to know when it’s actually being used and how I can verify that it’s in use at the time.

Depending on which phone you have, I disabled my Verizon SIM and tested messaging with T-Mobile SIM. On Android you can check settings in the SIM manager. I do not use an iPhone. You should be able to see an indication of signal strength for each SIM. There are instructions online about operation for Apple and Android. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/satellite-support#using
