Google offers its own satellite SOS feature on the Pixel 9 series

Apple set the standard for satellite SOS with the iPhone 14 and Android is now catching up. The Pixel 9 series supports Google’s Satellite SOS via Skylo and Garmin, while carriers like T-Mobile (via Starlink) and Verizon (with Skylo) are launching their own services. Google is working on allowing both OEM and carrier satellite SOS features to coexist, though users may need to choose between them. This could expand to more carriers and future Pixel models, but older Pixels lack the necessary hardware.
