How to send satellite texts on newer iPhones if your cell service is knocked out during Hurricane Milton
Briefly

Matt Van Swol, an Asheville, North Carolina, resident, praised the satellite messaging feature saying, 'Due to the lack of cell service, EVERYONE in Asheville NC right now on iOS 18 has been able to get messages out and in with the Satellite messaging feature. This is literally saving lives.' He highlighted how crucial the feature was during the power outage caused by Hurricane Helene, emphasizing its importance for communication.
As Hurricane Milton threatens to disrupt communication in Florida, having an emergency solution on hand can be vital. iPhone 14 and later models with iOS 18 enable satellite messaging, ensuring that individuals can stay connected even when traditional cellular networks are down.
