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.
I used it to contact my family in GA and let them know that we were alright. It's so awesome.
The satellite messaging feature was a lifesaver. Another user said they could still communicate while stranded by fallen trees and power lines.
Those who were unaware of the feature or didn't have access to it weren't as fortunate. Jeneane Nicodemus wrote for BI that she lost contact with her daughter in Asheville for three days.
