S24 satalite communication unlocked in the US

[arianwen27]

Heyo everyone. Just seen some recent news that's really interesting. It seems for T-Mobile customers in the US, the s24 now has satalite communication access. It's a beta test and has some requirements but it seems to work. It uses starlink

So this means the S24 has had satalite hardware this entire time, it was just never enabled. This also means the S25 is likely to have it.

No clue if or when we'll get it in the uk, though we know for a fact the hardware is there.

Thought this was interesting as before the s24 came out, there were rumours it'd have satalite hardware, then it came out not having it. People then found bits of code relating to it maybe existing. Welp, it's been in the phones the phone the whole time.

Oh and the fold 6 has it too, but way more people have an s24 so focused on that
