On Pixel and Galaxy phones, texting friends over satellite needs a carrier that supports it, such as Verizon or T-Mobile in the US (Galaxy phones also get it on KDDI in Japan and Virgin Media O2 in the UK). If you use T-Mobile's T-Satellite, many older phones, from the iPhone 13 onwards and select Galaxy models, can text over satellite too. The China models work only in mainland China, and for OPPO and vivo only the Satellite Communication Edition has the feature.
