How Starlink DTC Connects Your Phone To A Satellite

On March 12, 2025, SpaceX launched 21 Starlink satellites from Florida, including 13 with Direct-to-Cell capability that somehow lets your phone connect to space—350 kilometers up—without a single tweak to your device. Massive antennas, orbiting tech, and a signal trick that we'll unpack on today's video!
I get this question all the time: "How can a satellite in orbit hear a faint signal from a phone on the Earth." Well, you'll know the answer before the end of this video.
