Satellite texting

[jejb]

I am wondering if an unlocked Fold 7 supports satellite texting on every carrier network, or if it has to the carrier's version of the phone to work? I'm on Verizon, but prefer unlocked phones. However, if it needs to be a carrier version, I may reconsider. I'm often way out of cell tower coverage, so having the satellite support is an important consideration.

Satellite compatibility is included in unlocked versions, BUT this is still up to the carrier. T-Mobile does allow unlocked ones (I used it on the S25U), but can't speak for big red.

I have an unlocked S25U on ATT and I do not have the ability to use satellite texting despite the phone being capable.

Unlocked s25u TMO has it I'm sure it will continue with the Fold 7

I have a great experience with TMo Sat texting. The beta trial just expired today 7/22. You can continue but TMO would charge $10 additional per month. A bit pricey for service.
