With garmin gps phones you can text any number, not just emergency services. Did anyone catch if this would be possible with the new iphone's emergency satellite plan?

It is not, at least not in what they announced today. It's just for emergency services at this point.

Covers many of the particulars.

yeah, i had hope with the "open Messages" prompt on the satellite finder view, but then they didn't mention it unfortunately
