Verizon is the next big phone company to launch a satellite messaging service — and it’s coming soon. Starting this fall, the service will let “certain smartphones” access emergency messaging and location sharing via satellite in a partnership with Skylo — which is also powering Google’s recently announced Satellite SOS feature.

Even if the notion survives all the way to being rolled out, the fate of some predecessors leaves me skeptical that it will be around for the long term. I hope it does, but I'm dubious.Pivo wrote: ↑Aug 29 2024 10:24 am Verizon is the next big phone company to launch a satellite messaging service — and it’s coming soon.
