This is such a bad feature. It should work all over the globe from the start.

It's free for 2 years, after that you have to pay. It makes complete sense. Again, do your research.

            For an important safety feature like this they should make this free instead.

                And real satellite calls are even more expensive than that, people don't even realize it.

                  ae86, 15 May 2023what? this was a paid service? with how expensive iPhone is... moreI understand why some not knowing people would say that, iPhone are already cery expensive.

                  But the people that say that don't even realise how bloody expensive satellite connections like this are.

                  Anyhow it is free on iphones for the upcoming 1,5 years if not mistaken.

                    ae86, 15 May 2023what? this was a paid service? with how expensive iPhone is... moreIt is free.. did you even read the article?

                      ae86, 15 May 2023what? this was a paid service? with how expensive iPhone is... moreService : Subscription
                      Software : One time purchase

                      Why is this so hard to understand for people? Just because a company made 400$ off you does not mean they can give you a 20$/month subscription for eternity.

                        ae86, 15 May 2023what? this was a paid service? with how expensive iPhone is... moreLol, Ignore Iphone If You Are Not Ready To Pay More And Increase Apple Revenew Simple, Be Like Me And Use Chinese Product.
