Elon Musk’s SpaceX has unveiled a satellite service, ‘Direct to Cell,’ allowing users to make calls from anywhere on Earth using iPhones and Android smartphones.
The standout feature of this service is that no modifications to smartphones are necessary; as long as the device supports LTE, it will work seamlessly.
