Is the satellite function free to use? I haven’t read into it and it’s super convenient for its use cases but also seems like it would cost a lot to maintain contracts and backend for the feature.
Yes, it is free. But the only thing you can use it for is contacting emergency services.
It’s free for 2 years.
Then you get the full Tim Apple treatment.
TLDR. There’s no pricing after 2 years yet.
Probably get 2 years with every phone purchase. I’d have no problem subscribing to it regardless.
I have a family and little kids. I’d never even consider not paying for a service like that if it could save our lives.
