Thread: TXT by SpaceX satellite

I did a deep dive on this the other day, my phone is duel sim and have a prepaid One NZ as a long standing Spark user and i note that currently cant be used on One NZ prepaid for satalite texting....suck ballos....

I suspect Spark wont be far off joining so going to wait for that.....Currently my Samsung S23 is compatible but not keen to go on a plan.

Some areas i hunt get both signals and others only one or the other hence duel sim....

I watch with interest

Same boat, exactly the same as me. Almost no OneNZ coverage at home, but go to a few areas with no Spark so have OneNZ as a prepay. No coverage on prepay, and even the OneNZ people say that their plans will be way more expensive for my use and not offer anything extra as it would seem that most if not all of the current dual sim phones are not compatible with txt-to-sat. Sucks balls...
