Verizon became the first US carrier to let customers text any other phone by satellite when out of cellular range, starting with Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 9 phones.

AST SpaceMobile signed a definitive commercial agreement to connect Verizon customers' ordinary phones to its BlueBird satellites across the continental US from 2026, using Verizon's 850 MHz spectrum.

The three biggest US carriers agreed in principle to form a joint venture pooling spectrum so satellite operators can reach phones directly and all but end wireless dead zones.
