UPDATE: July 7, 2025
Flooding continues to affect communities in Central Texas, with Kerr County among the hardest hit. We’re staying closely connected with federal, state and local public safety teams and emergency management agencies in the region to ensure our support meets the region’s needs.
Community Support Update
T-Mobile teams are on the ground in Kerrville helping communities stay connected. We are currently offering free Wi-Fi, device charging and charging supplies, while supplies last. All community members are welcome to stop by any time. Wi-Fi and device charging will be available 24 hours a day but may change:
And tomorrow, July 8, we’ll have a second location with Wi-Fi and charging from 9 am to 5 pm CT, along with charging supplies while they last:
Network Update
Our Emergency Management team deployed a SatCOLT (Satellite Cell on Light Truck) at the Unified Command Center in Kerrville to boost coverage inside the building and in the surrounding area. We also staged additional SatCOLTs nearby to respond to emerging needs.
We’ve also deployed a search and rescue drone to help first responders and to further assess damage giving a better view of remote or inaccessible areas.
Yesterday, we enabled T-Satellite with Starlink for T-Mobile customers to use text-to-911 and basic text messaging. T-Satellite also broadcasts wireless emergency alerts to compatible devices in the area.
