It’s looking ever more likely that theSamsung Galaxy S24will get a feature whichAppleintroduced to theiPhonelast year, and could help you out if you get stuck in a remote area.
Emergency texting via satellite does pretty much what it says on the tin. If you find yourself in an area with no mobile signal, smartphones which support the feature can connect to satellites to allow you to send text messages.
Apple introduced its ‘Emergency SOS via satellite’ feature in 2022 with theiPhone 14, and the service also made it into theiPhone 15series. Now it’sSamsung’s turn to look to the skies for communication in remote locations.
The description reads “if you call emergency services when you’re out of range or not connected to a mobile network, we’ll connect you via satellite so you can send an emergency text.”
Looking more and more likely
This isn’t the first we’ve heard about the S24 series potentially getting the satellite link-up, with Samsung announcing a new networkback in February, whilein Augusta tipster pointed towards the feature possibly coming to Samsung’s next flagship devices.

It’s positive to see this emergency feature rolled out to more handsets, and while it’s one we hope will never need to be used, it’s reassuring to know our tech can provide potentially life-saving services like this.
TheSamsung GalaxyS24 series is set to be revealed in early 2024, with January (or very early February) being rumoured as a likely launch window so there shouldn’t be too much longer to wait until we find out more about this feature and what else the new smartphones will have to offer.
