IOS 18 is available

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m expecting satellite texting via cell phones won’t be free for very long.

Sending data via satellite costs $, can’t see cell companies not wanting to recoup those costs.

My phone is paid for by my work. I’m sure they would be happy to pay for satellite messaging and be able to get ahold of me 24/7.

Garmin wants $0.50 for each message now. I use to have a sat phone but it was like $1100 a year with like 60min/month.

"Messages via satellite is available in the U.S. and Canada. It's free for two years after the activation of an iPhone 14 or later (all models)."

And after?

So it only works if you live at the center of the universe?

It's ok, those of us outsude the event horizon are used to it.
