SMS Satellite Feature

 Frankly speaking, it has limited use under certain situations only.

The intention is only for emergency use ie lost in a jungle where there's no signal etc.
Honestly, I think this is a very good feature, of course with understandable limitation.

Agreed with you, bro.
It has this use case but how many of us go to jungle a lot of times.

Satellite messaging for emergency SOS alerts when WiFi or cellular connections are unavailable. This technology is likely to bring exciting capabilities and enhancements to the Android user experience.

If it's just for SOS alerts, the use cases are just limited. Nevertheless, do share what other exciting capabilities & enhancement to the Android user experience that satellite can offer u think will happen. 👌

Satellite text messaging is slower and costly than traditional text messaging. That's why current use is limited to emergency purposes.

Currently capabilities:

- Connectivity in remote or disaster-affected areas - Fast communication (support two-way communication via SMS) can save lives, especially in challenging or emergency situations.
- Devices with crash or fall detection/health sensing automatically send messages to emergency services even in areas without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

Future enhancement:

- During a disaster, emergency alerts are broadcast via satellite to end-user phones in the affected area.
- Remote Work Support - Work in remote locations such as mining, oil and gas, and forestry, where traditional cellular coverage may not be available, satellite messaging will help.
