Charter Communications and Comcast have launched satellite texting services for Spectrum Mobile and Xfinity Mobile customers, starting today and completing in the coming weeks. This follows Verizon's announcement of similar services, marking a competitive move within the mobile space. The new service is exclusively available on newer devices including Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 9. Pricing has not been disclosed, although Verizon is currently offering it for free. This service, powered by Skylo, enables text communication even when traditional cell tower signals are unavailable, which could be life-saving during disasters.
Satellite texting allows users to send messages even when outside the range of traditional cell towers, providing essential communication capabilities during emergencies.
Charter and Comcast announced satellite texting services for Spectrum and Xfinity Mobile customers, joining Verizon's recent launch, expanding the mobile space race.
