Phone-to-satellite over Gumi: Starlink coverage right now

Some phone plans, like T-Mobile's satellite texting in the US, send messages through Starlink satellites that carry a phone antenna. They need to be high in your sky.

Phone-capable Starlinks high above Gumi right now

satellites 25° or more up

May be inaccurate

SpaceX doesn't publish which satellites carry the phone antenna, so we guess from their orbit height (around 360 km).
Newly launched Starlinks pass through the same height while they climb, so the count can run high.
Whether your phone connects also depends on your carrier, your plan, your phone and an open view of the sky.
