It's strictly for emergencies. Afaik you have to hold your phone to the sky and be patient to get your text message out. .

Exactly; if I’ve stopped in those remote mountain areas while driving through them I’ve probably had an emergency and the satellite might be my fastest way to get help.

One of the areas is a ~43 mile stretch of I-87 in the Adirondacks without reliable service where the state put in radiotelephones every 2 miles along the highway, although it looks like that gap has started to be closed and the state started removing the phones 2 years ago.
