    You mean the ones that are 10x higher in orbit and iPhones can’t communicate with?

      globalstar is the emergency SOS apple partner on newer phones. with the right antennas and spectrum you can do great things.

      No, the ones that are in very similar orbits and are already communicating with mobile phones today. Geostationary communication directly to phones is also possible, by the way, assuming the satellite has a big/directional enough antenna. Here's one from 2011: https://www.cnet.com/reviews/terrestar-genus-at-t-review/ https://www.cnet.com/reviews/terrestar-genus-at-t-review/ Google's Pixel uses (I believe) the same satellite today too, among others.
