Apple's Satellite Messaging IS COOL! EVERYTHING EXPLAINED! (It Will Cost You!)

[@mikellasa]

I texted my wife while in the mountains for 5 days. No signal, absolutely no problems and worked every time. One of those things that keeps me on iOS.

[@jamesmaine8438]

This brought me back to iOS. Amazing feature

[@Technology4Seniors]

is there a way to test this in an area where I have cell coverage? Turning off cell data or airplane mode doesn't seem to work

[@rasjahson6261]

It will be beneficial for those who are long haul truck drivers who often are driving in rural areas where nothing is there. Satellite calling is good for truckers as well especially if they are broke down.

[@VictorRamirez-ut5lk]

This can be useful for first responders on deployments

[@jasonbaker5430]

I have to drive for about 8 miles from my house to get a cell phone signal. I depend on Wi-Fi calling at home

[@lrac88510]

You say if you have no cell service it pops up, what if u do have service and the receiver phone doesn’t? How do you then access it?

[@kevinstrader9039]

About 2 1/2 weeks ago I joined the pixel beta program and shortly after, I noticed I had satellite enhancement feature under networks. Week later got another updated software and it disappeared. They must be still working on it.

[@TechOdyssey]

Intersting...

[@brianrychlicki8561]

Do you know if anyone has verified if this will work on an overseas flight e.g. across the Pacific Ocean at 35,000 feet sending or receiving text messages? How does one aim their phone on an airplane at a satellite with limited openings e.g small window?

You were talking about the storm. I live in the Beaumont area. I hope we don't get a lot of rain.

[@TechOdyssey]

Hopefully it’s not too bad. I lived in Port Arthur for a bit when I was growing up. I’m very familiar with Beaumont

[@YosefElgart]

Did you android find my tags to test?​@@TechOdyssey

[@CeicelRockMonster]

Thank you Mr J.D. Vance great video

[@autumnmatthews3179]

Interesting video, thanks for sharing. Hope you'll be okay with that storm

[@TechOdyssey]

Sure thing. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! And thank you. Hoping it's not too bad.

I wish Android would get this feature. It is such a lifesaving feature and it has saved so many lives. Even if I had to pay $5 or $10 a month for the feature I would certainly pay it especially if I was camping or going someplace that had no service or even hiking. This is definitely a life-saving feature.

[@DDOSin66]

It's in android 15

[@forevercod.younggun6352]

@@DDOSin66 so far I haven't seen it

[@mordechai8008]

Chinese android has the Beidou SanNav chip for 2 way satellite communication and messaging.

[@AndroidAntill]

​@@forevercod.younggun6352It's in emergency settings

[@BruceLeeRoy26]

@@DDOSin66no it’s not the phone would need a separate antenna

[@KE4YAL]

I live in a rural area we have a very weak cell signal but you can not make a call but I can't connect to the satellite service I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this

[@Kaavyasharmavlogs]

Google just rolled out gemini app in Indian playstore can anyone tell how to get it in Google messeges app Pixel 8 pro user india Do I need to download the playstore version of gemini app or will it work natively via the assistant settings Can anyone tell

[@megamegaO]

I would imagine the emergency services being free but in terms of just casually, texting and calling people that will be a price

[@krskadave]

Well Adam, I’ve gone and done it. Loaded up the beta on my 15PM. Made my home page to my liking. It’s cool I guess. Something new to play with. Everything works as advertised. No over heating, I don’t know about battery drain as I’ve only had it running for a few hours. Gotta give it a week or so. Liking the refurbished settings menu.

[@4StonesHandcraft]

Thanks

[@BruceLeeRoy26]

Former radio troop in the Air Force, satellite access is not cheap, so for Apple to absorb the costs for a while is pretty dope of them. After the introductory period I’m sure that there would be a cost but either people can probably nix it or carry on for a cost. What I can see happening is, once Apple gets texts, calls and data on satellite, they’ll make their own phone plan and probably push phone carriers out. Of course, other manufacturers will follow suit, causing a whole new chip race to develop better data speeds and battery efficiency (satcom takes up a lot of power).

[@hobbitpsi]

Hopefully some of that rain comes to us in San Antonio. It's too damn hot over here!

[@morm2173]

Huawei can also do this as well

[@TechOdyssey]

Correct. Starting with the P50 Pro I believe. I had it.

[@Searles007]

Apple is teamed with Globalstar, T-Mobile is teamed with Starlink. Not sure about ATT. I read that Verizon isn't joining anytime soon, as they haven't seen a great consumer demand for space-based connectivity. Will be interesting moving forward. 🤙🏼

[@LouAnnBeuke]

Interesting!

[@TechOdyssey]

I think so too!

[@marcustaylor9210]

Will be US only like when it first launched for emergency messaging

[@TechOdyssey]

U.S. and I believe a handful of other countries.

[@DillonBlair]

So basically you don’t know if they are going to charge for it or how much it will be if they do. Hmm.

[@TechOdyssey]

I said they will charge for it but nobody knows how much. It was pretty clear.

[@trintex44]

This should be implemented all across the board when it comes to iPhone users. I have an iPhone 14 but everyone is not fortunate to buy the latest and greatest so, if your iPhone is older than the 14 and you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere i guess you’re fudged!

[@BruceLeeRoy26]

Well you need a separate antenna, can’t just OTA the capability.
