T-Mobile Bows 'Coverage Beyond' Streaming on Select United Flights

Eligible T-Mobile customers will have access to free in-flight Wi-Fi and streaming on select United domestic and short-haul international flights, joining Alaska, American and Delta, the wireless carrier said Friday. The perk is part of T-Mobile’s Coverage Beyond benefit available to customers on Magenta Max, Business Unlimited Ultimate and equivalent Sprint wireless plans, it said. With Coverage Beyond, customers can “text, email, search and stream all flight long,” it said. Coverage Beyond launches on United’s 737s, Max8s, Max9s, select 757-300s and select A319s with Wi-Fi supported by Viasat and Thales InFlyt Experience; more flights and Wi-Fi partners will be added soon, T-Mobile said.
