Calling all hunters and outdoorswomen and men / adventures and travelers.
The new starlink sat 2.0 coming next year will apparently support services for T Mobile's current cell devices (no upgrade or special phones needed)
They basically say you will be able to send texts and emails from anywhere anytime as long as you have clear skies. Could be a real game changer.. They said its not really intended for voice calls (although you probably can) and it's not intended to replace terrestrial cell towers. But for places where there is zero service, starting sometime next year you should still be able to phone home anytime. (I realize this could be a very bad thing for some people) but I think its pretty cool. A game changer if you will. Sounds infinitely better than those little GPS emergency beacon/tracker doohickey's
might even be a solid extra tool in the survival /preparedness minded folk.
