And idea about what the messaging rates will be for satellite texting? I wonder if it'll work with GrapheneOS too
The GrapheneOS forums say there is no intent on implementing this. It will probably be locked behind Google play services anyway.
What satellite service does this go through, I wonder?
Edit: duh, it's right there 🤦♂️
From the article: Spectrum Mobile and Xfinity Mobile, have launched satellite-based services through a collaboration with Skylo, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) service provider.
Is this a kind of emergency messaging thing being added or is this the direction we will go instead of 6G? Lol! I'm half joking because idk anything tbh.
Emergency mostly. I would imagine in the future though it will be satellite only and towers will be obsolete
