Verizon's new satellite messaging service will enable emergency messaging and location sharing for select smartphones this fall, making communication possible when cellular networks fail.
Later next year, Verizon will expand this feature to allow customers to send texts to anyone, regardless of their cell service availability, at no extra charge.
Powered by Skylo, the service showcases Verizon's commitment to expanding connectivity, particularly for emergency situations, as they rely on existing satellite networks rather than owning satellites.
With more than 10 million messages processed, Skylo's past experience in connected machines now translates to consumer applications, enhancing user access in remote areas.
