T-Mobile opens satellite communications to Android, iOS, AT&E & Verizon
https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/t-mobile-opens-up-its-starlink-beta-including-to-people-with-att-and-verizon/

 "As part of the beta, people in the program will be able
  to send SMS text messages when they're outdoors, even in 
  areas where they don't normally get T-Mobile's terrestrial
  coverage. The beta service will be free and open to all 
  T-Mobile postpaid users until July, with the carrier also 
  making it available for free during this time to AT&T
  and Verizon customers."

The article discusses how Verizon advertises things it can't do, where it
doesn't mention that Apple is infamous for advertising what doesn't exist.

 "In emergency situations, the company may make the service
  available to all, regardless of plan"
