Step 1: Cellular or Wi-Fi Coverage

·      If you have cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, you can still message someone using Messages via satellite.

Step 2: iMessage Alert

·      In the iMessage conversation, you'll see an alert indicating that your contact is accepting messages via satellite.

Step 3: Sending a Message

·      After tapping Send, also tap Send via Satellite underneath the message bubble to deliver your message.

                                                         

Step 4: For Emergency Contacts and Family Sharing

·      If you’re an emergency contact or part of a Family Sharing group, you can send an SMS message before your contact begins accepting messages via satellite.

Your contact will receive the SMS once they start accepting messages via satellite.
