This part stuck out to me:

 

Does it work with any smartphone?

 

Yes, no modification is required. To simplify, Lynk’s system tricks a phone into thinking it’s simply sending and receiving a text from a celltower.

 

The pending satellite-to-mobile service from Starlink will also work with any make or model of smartphone.

 

I understood the (upcoming) Vodafone service was only compatible with specific phones?
