How are you able to tell or see that you have this satellite functionality please?

Unlocked here, on tmobile.
Go to settings>connections scroll down and tap satellite network

I've used this quite a few times and it's been great to have. I spent a week hunting in northern Utah a couple months ago outside cell range and it was nice to be able to message others that were out hunting, along with my wife to give location updates and eta.

It does take a little bit to connect, but even in the middle of the forest, without huge open views of the sky it still worked and I was able to send/receive without a problem.

I wonder how long it will be until the cell providers start to charge for this service.
