GrapheneOS functionality with Tmobile satellite texting

Marcus_A

Hey all,

I see that Tmobile is rolling out a partnership with spacex to use their low orbit satellites to relay texts in areas without cell coverage. Does anyone know if this will be supported by GOS? Or would using GOS make it so I can’t use that section of service?

I'm interested in finding this out too. Based on reports, this has not rolled out to everyone yet. Some people have reported (on stock OS) having a satellite option under their SIM settings, while others, including my friend running stock OS on T-Mobile, do not have any such option (yet).

Has anyone seen such an option on GrapheneOS? Would such an option ever appear on GrapheneOS? Ideally, has anyone had it working on stock and then switched to GrapheneOS? That would be the best test.

Last I heard the timeline from Tmobile was to roll this out to androids early 2025 and the option that showed up for people on stock android was the using garmin satellites? I guess my question is weather GOS will have satellite capability at all?
