This is legitimately one of the coolest things SpaceX is doing. Satellite calling in the case of emergencies is definitely a must-have nowadays on any premium smartphone. SpaceX making this move could certainly see this becoming the new standard across any device, regardless of its cost. Imagine being able to make calls or send messages as if you were in the center of a major city, with cell towers all around you. Or being able to go to other countries and not needing to pay extra fees or higher prices for roaming charges. My only question for the long term would be whether this is something that will be an extra service you can add on through existing carriers, or if they plan on creating their own carrier service at some point.
