T-Mobile’s call translation beta is live, and you don’t need a fancy phone
- T-Mobile’s network-based Live Translation beta is now live for selected participants.
- The feature translates calls in real time across more than 80 languages by dialing *87*.
- Only one caller needs to be on T-Mobile, and the feature is free during the beta period.
One upside of the AI boom is that the adoption of live translation appears to be accelerating at a pace. Various phones, headsets, and apps are constantly improving the tech, and now T-Mobile has its own slightly different take, with its network-based Live Translation beta officially underway.
In a blog post today (via Droidlife), T-Mobile CTO John Saw announced that the carrier has finally kicked off the Live Translation beta. The feature was announced back in February, and the beta is now live for selected participants, supporting more than 80 languages. The idea is that T-Mobile handles translation through its network rather than having your phone handle it, without you buying any extra hardware or software. T-Mobile says it should work with virtually any phone on its network, from a modern smartphone to an old-school flip phone.
