    Yes and it’ll likely be expensive, but it can very much save lives. When you’re very remote and need to tell someone your location, or you need help, that’s where it really shines. From what I hear too, it’s not exactly fast either so probably not for real time texting or chatting willy nilly.

      afaik both the t-mobile/starlink deal and the apple version of this are equilivent of 3g. So likely you’re not gonna want to browse the internet or anything. But if you’re a sailor at sea this could be a great way to be able to text. Or if you’re in am emergancy you’ll be able to call for help.
