OAP Cell Team developments with actionable efforts

We hope you have been following our updates regarding direct-to-cell rapid evolution. 


Here are a couple of developments that warrant us reaching out to you just a week after the previous, scheduled update. 

Starlink, in partnership with a New Zealand's cellular service provider One NZ, launched free direct-to-cell texting service across the country a few days ago. It works as intended.

T-Mobile, Starlink's partner in the US, opened registration for "direct-to-cell" beta testers in the US. This will allow users to send and receive texts when outside of cell tower coverage. We urge all Oceansiders who are T-Mobile subscribers to sign up ASAP via T-Mobile's registration link.

We strongly encourage Oceansiders to act now. 


If you indeed get selected, we would appreciate you keeping our team posted on how this service works for you. This would help OAP's Improving Cell Reception team in prioritizing our efforts to bring better mobile connectivity to Oceanside.

CALLING ALL ROCKSTARS! Join the OAP Short Beach Rebuild Project Bucket Brigade Party 📅 Saturday, August 16 🕘 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM 📍 Short Beach, Oceanside We're rebuilding the beach access stairs, and we need YOU (yes, you with the strong arms and community spirit) to help us line the new stairs with beautiful beach rocks, the old-fashioned way: by hand! What’s happening? We’re forming a good ol’ bucket brigade (think human chain, not a workout class — though it may feel like one) to move rocks from the beach to the stair path. It’s hands-on, feel-good community work, and honestly, a little fun too. We need 30–40 volunteers! 👷 Bring: • Gloves (your hands will thank you) • Lunch (we’ll break for a beach picnic) • A 5-gallon bucket (Home Depot orange buckets = bonus points)  To volunteer (or ask questions), contact us: 📧 info@oceansideactionpartnership.org 📞 (503) 317-6150
