STARLINK'S FIRST NATIONWIDE SATELLITE TEXTING SERVICE GOES LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

SpaceX's satellite-to-cell Starlink texting service is now operational in New Zealand through telecommunications company One NZ. Starlink texting can take up to 10 minutes or longer, but most messages should be sent and received within three minutes during the initial rollout. The service is only supported on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, and OPPO Find X8 Pro - the list of eligible devices is expected to grow next year. The satellite service is free for existing One NZ customers on paid-monthly plans.
