It does sorry. Check it out.

Satellite network for Apple satellite features provided by Globalstar, Inc. and its affiliates or third-party network providers.

Connect to a satellite with your iPhone – Apple Support (AU)

I do really like to know when travelling remotely that there is an alternate nework available even though the apple connectivity is very limited.

Strange - Mine never shows Sat without the Starlink banner…

Perhaps Apple uses it for those not using an SL provider.

That's what I was saying earlier. I'm not sure it will use the apple system while Telstra is sending you to starlink. Perhaps you'd have to take out the sim. I don't know. Before Telstra starlink colab my phone would willingly use the apple satellite emergency when out of signal.

Here is a demo. You can also get a demo. Go to Emergency SOS in settings and down the bottom of the page is "Emergency SOS via Satellite" You can click. "try demo"

My Iphone13 mini has that setting,exactly as in the Vid.....

So, I opened the SL app to see if anything has changed. Well, yes, it has. It now gives me three tiers of connectivity, and no surcharge. $99 for $69. 200 for $99, and the same Max plan. I'm currently paying $85 for 50, if I get it.

What am I waiting for? For it not to be too good to be true.

The grass doesn't grow on this mob.
