Get a Garmin InReach Mini 2, they're best-in-class for this purpose.
There's no denying that smartphone messaging via satellite is game-changing in this space (and I hope my Garmin Fenix watch will one day have 2-way SOS messaging capability integrated into it) but I wouldn't trust a smartphone for this.
