SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in a press release while announcing the plan said, "The important thing about this is that it means there are no dead zones anywhere in the world for your cell phone. We're incredibly excited to do this with T-Mobile."

Rumors also say that there are chances that Apple may partner with Globalstar rather the SpaceX.
