LoRa bitrate is very low and the range of LoRa is not even comparable with satellite communication. Moreover, normal smartphone are not LoRa compatible.
- snovv_crash 4y agoSattelite is 500km LoS, this is well in the capabilities of LORA. Text messages are also a similar bitrate to LORA.

And no phone has a LoRa chipset inside, neither the new ones.

For LoS with a small (single) directional antenna it's easy to get another 10db. With a big dish you can go a lot higher.
