AT&T satellite service to work with iPhone 12 & later; voice calls too

An upcoming AT&T satellite service promises to bring satellite comms to the iPhone 12 and 13 for the first time....

Engadget reports that AT&T has now signed a commercial contract with AST SpaceMobile, which will allow it to begin offering the service to its subscribers. Soon, AT&T subscribers will have the option to ensure that they have access to cell service even in typical dead zones, like deep inside national parks or far-flung rural locations. Now, the companies have entered a definitive commercial agreement, which means AT&T is getting close to offering subscribers the capability to transform their regular phones into legit satellite devices.
