While translation services have been around for a while, they are either expensive to adopt at scale, only work on certain devices, require apps, downloads and subscriptions or route data in ways that are not always private and secure. Enter Live Translation from T-Mobile. The magic lies in its integration directly into T-Mobile’s network, making AI a core capability rather than an add-on.
“Some of the biggest barriers wireless customers face are the simplest ones — like being able to understand each other,” said
Whether you’re traveling, or looking to catch up with a family member, Live Translation is making picking up the phone easier than ever. Studies find an estimated 60 million Americans live in multilingual households.

While translation services have been around for a while, they are either expensive to adopt at scale, only work on certain devices, require apps, downloads and subscriptions or route data in ways that are not always private and secure.
Enter Live Translation. The magic lies in its integration directly into T-Mobile’s network, making AI a core capability rather than an add-on. Available on T-Mobile’s industry-leading 5G Advanced network, this first-of-its kind network-native AI infrastructure delivers on the promise of creating experiences that change the way consumers interact with the world around them. With the most towers, America’s largest 5G Advanced network and the deepest spectrum portfolio years in the making, T-Mobile is the only wireless provider currently capable of putting this innovation directly into consumers hands at scale.
The only requirement is for at least one person to be on the T-Mobile network to initiate translation and translation is instantaneous after activation. From flip phones to the latest smartphones, if you’re on the T-Mobile network — or talking with someone who is — it simply works.
“Live Translation shows what’s possible when you rethink the role of a wireless provider,” said
Live Translation Beta Registration
Whether it’s global sporting events or a simple call home, T-Mobile is bringing real-time AI into the network to help people connect across languages in moments big and small—so conversations can happen with the confidence that you’ll be understood.
Beta registration opens today for eligible T-Mobile customers, with access planned for this spring for selected users.
By dialing *87*, beta participants will be able to speak to anyone in more than 50 languages, at no cost during the beta and for as long as they need. From family calls to making reservations abroad or handling customer inquiries, even the smallest mom-and-pop shop will soon be able to confidently answer the phone, serve new customers, and avoid missed opportunities caused by language barriers.
The free beta gives T-Mobile the means to test the service gradually before the commercial launch later this year to the millions of wireless users who can benefit from communication without barriers.
Live Translation runs on T-Mobile's network, America’s Best Network as recently recognized by Ookla® Speedtest® and also recognized according to
