Particle has stated that it is developing the M635, their first satellite capable device. However, the development of this device seems to have stalled. I'm assuming this might be the result of Starlink bringing their Direct-to-Cell capability to market in conjunction with T-Mobile. Given that Particle's cellular device, the M404, supports T-Mobile, will the Particle M404 be able to utilize Starlink's direct to cell capability in the near future? Will Particle continue to pursue production of the M635 if that is the case?

We've been waiting on certification to complete - there are currently units out in the wild that are being tested.
Units should be available soon! Tests have been going well.
Re. T-Mobile's NTN - that's reserved for T-Mobile customers and is (currently) limited to text, similar to Apple's feature set on their emergency and Find My offering.

Perhaps now we can get some info on NTN data pricing, data limits?
Its been over a year since announcnement ( Q1 2024) and we are almost in Q3 2025 the details are vague...
We'll have details closer to the GA date. It's still in limbo due to certification.
