Multiple rumours are swirling around the impending inclusion of satellite connectivity to Android 15 and Pixel phones, but some speculate that its cost would take a huge toll.
If you too from among them, set your worries aside as it's going to be free, but for a limited period.
Recently, Android Authority discovered the details encompassing the Pixel Satellite SOS feature while the Android 15 beta 4 breakdown.
Recently, Strings unwrap in beta disclosed Pixel Satellite SOS name with the fact related to free service but only for two years.
Additionally, this revelation of fact to offer free service for two years makes sense because Alphabet-owned company’s rival Apple is also offering a similar feature for Emergency SOS via Satellite.

Further reports suggested that Google is expected to offer the same price tag to Apple’s satellite messaging service but that would adequately depend on the Cupertino-based tech giant’s announcement related to the pay after two years of trial.
However, it might still lengthen the trial period as it did during the release of the iPhone 15.
Moreover, the rumours related to Apple’s satellite service launch are certainly one of the most electrifying news for all iPhone users because of several benefits.
Similarly, the Android version depends on Pixels, but satellite support is tipped to be integrated soon in Android 15.
According to Android Authority notes, this new satellite feature is likely to debut on Pixel 9 as a software update.
As the older pixels don't support the right hardware to be updated with the feature. However, other details are still under the wraps which are yet to be disclosed on August 13 at the Made by Google event, where Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 9 series.
