Right, that is nice to have, though in this case the hardware would also have to support it which an older phone that didn't ship with Android 15 won't have

I'm talking about things like T-mobile's starlink texting. The only hardware requirement is supporting eSIM, which Fairphones 4 and later do. It uses standard LTE.
The sole blocker preventing someone with a Fairphone 4, 5, or 6 from sending text messages via satellite is that they are not on Android 15.
Oh! I didn't know that, thought it required a special antenna. That's cool, thanks for the correction!
