Will Three work with AST SpaceMobile to provide satellite cover?

I've been following AST SpaceMobile and would be keen to know if my Three sim will work with their upcoming satellite network? I know they have partnered with Vodafone but haven't heard anything about Three yet.

I reckon D2D (Direct to device) it is going to take awhile to ramp up and being offered in the UK. I know that ofcom recently started a consultation.
Also, in case you didn't hear, Vodafone and Three will be/are merging.

Hi @Jamie452,

I'm not aware of anything planned around this, but as @jr0 says we're in the process of a merger with Vodafone. You can read the latest updates about this here: https://www.three.co.uk/merger

We're still separate companies at the moment, but there should be more we can share before too much longer, we're just waiting for some legal processes to complete.

Thanks,
Jonathan
