"We continue to test the capabilities of One NZ Satellite TXT, and this is an initial service that will get better. For example, text messages will take longer to send but will get quicker over time," One NZ's Experience and Commercial Director Joe Goddard said.
"We're beginning with a small number of phones as part of the staggered rollout of the technology. And critically, from today customers can send and receive text messages only, but in the future, we expect voice calling and data to also be available."
One NZ claims it is the first telecommunications company globally to power a nationwide satellite text messaging service via Starlink, showcasing the international collaboration.
Starlink has also signed up partners in Canada, Australia, Japan, Peru, Switzerland, and Chile, partnering with T-Mobile in the US to expand its satellite-to-cell initiative.
