Satellite SOS

[trucksmoveamerica#AC]

I get this notification every day and it's driving my not wanting users notifications OCD crazy. How do I get rid of it? I've tried the normal long press notification have to turn it off, it let me select not on lock screen, which it still shows on lock screen anyway and the option to turn notifications off is disabled.

I've seen videos showing to go to safety and emergency tab then send sos tab, but I don't have that tab. I'm on the unlocked version so I assume that's a carrier variant.

It appears every morning I get up. Right now I have phone set to restart daily, so I'm assuming this is some annoyance Samsung feels we need to see after every restart, or is Samsung really trying to annoy me by displaying it every 24 hours.

I set the phone to restart every day awhile back because Google messages or if the blue would just stop displaying new messages, I would have to restart phone when I noticed I wasn't getting messages, so I just set to restart daily and problem hasn't happened again. Just one of Google messages flaky issues. Anyway, can we get rid of this.

I don't have a solution, just here to say this is annoying me also. I'm glad to have this feature as I live in a rural area and there are plenty of no coverage areas around me, even along the interstate highway. However, the stubborn repeated notification is unnecessary and needs a way to quiet it.

Most likely it's T-Mobile cause I'm on T-Mobile as well and only T-Mobile is doing the satellite.
I only get that message when there's no network and then satellite kicks in very useful.

I'm pretty sure it will go to all carriers the Satellite, so for Now just T-Mobile and Verizon has the satellite connection if off network.

This is what Verizon shows. I can add emergency contacts and medical information if I want to.

If I remember right, Verizon is using something different then T-Mobile.

 

[mustang7757]

Yeah Verizon uses Skylo’s
But I heard that both Att and Verizon can join Starlink beta for TMO through T-Mobile website

I would fill those fields in and see if u get the Pop up

I'm not paying for it, you shouldn't either.

First, Elon Stank lied to our faces and said it would be free. Now it's not, $15/month/line? No, not a Chance

My prediction is emergency calls and sms will be forced by the FCC and maybe even the FTC stepping in. Yes that is emergency only but do you really want your phone sipping battery to unnecessarily send over satellite and for most pay $15/month for something they'll likely never use? This is all going to backfire on T-Mobile.

$15/month per line is ludicrous and that's the discount price.

I see all these iclowns blabbering how their iPhone does it for free and how carriers can't stop Apple from doing. Correct, between you and your bah-bah friends , iMessage and iCall( that a word?) only. T-Mobile, any carrier for that matter, can and will restrict outside calls and messaging in favor of charging until my prediction hopefully comes to fruition.

Satellite communication should be prioritized for emergencies, followed by no/minimal signal, followed by recreational/just because. The infrastructure isnt there to support everyone without some form of prioritization. The concept will be as dead as 3D unless they bring regular access (outside emergency use) down to a reasonable monthly fee.
