Google's Pixel 9 series has a new feature called Satellite SOS, which uses
a satellite to contact emergency services when you don't have a cellular
signal or access to Wi-Fi. 

Satellite SOS is a part of Google's broader portfolio of safety features,
which includes Fall Detection and Car Crash Detection. 

The first thing to know about Satellite SOS is you don't need to know
anything about it.

"The moment you try to dial 911, when you're in a place without service,
you get that prompt [for Satellite SOS]," said Aisha Sharif, product
manager for Pixel software at Google. "We try to make it super easy and
accessible for users to find this in those times where you need it most."

I was under the impression you needed an additional contract from a 
mobile provider who supported the new android satellite feature?
