It seems really good but isn't space x part of the US govt. Need to find a good hiding place when things go south.

Ambitious. But no one else is doing it. There should be no excuses from providers from now on.

I am paying 30 bucks , unlimited( 25gb) internet,unlimited internationall and domestic calls,unlimited texting...oh yeah and free hotspot. Yes in USA on Tmobile network.
This is normal outside of usa(hint: countries in europe) to have a free hotspot and even some networks have REAL unlimited internet or at least that limit is messured in hundreds not tens of gb.

It could, technically, work with an ordinary powered phone. The tech will be insanely hard. Only Musk could build this, but he could be lying too. You never know.
Cellular radiation won't hurt you. It would have to rectify to biological frequencies to have even the slightest impact. GSM and WiFi theoretically could (heating being the rectification) but I don't think 5G uses the same pulsed modulation. You don't hear 5G signals rectifying in audio amps.

The Android Freak, 26 Aug 2022There is no extra fees if you are on popular magenta Max plan. For MVNO you will need to pay n... more$140/mo plan that claims it's "unlimited" while it's throttling when you go past 100GB. I'm certain this thing will be full of catches.

Why wouldn't it be? It'll be conforming to the exact same emissions rules as connecting to a cell tower. And it's not like satphones are new either.
