In my home country of Canada one of the two duolopolies in telecom (Rogers/Shaw) added satellite texting now thanks to spaceX version satellites. So for pretty much the entire country as long as I have a view of the sky (even with trees) I can text people.
Yeah. They did that too in Australia. But for hiking, phones aren’t really emergency grade. If it’s working yes. But they are only water resistant for starters
