Sounds like they’re trying to parity match what iOS is doing now with emergency situations

I doubt they’re gonna let you use it willy-nilly.

The one android phone with it currently (CAT S75) does let you use it for anything, but it requires an additional subscription.

I believe it’s SMS and SOS only through the messenger app. You have to subscribe through the app during signup for a a certain number of messages during subscription.

If they don't 'let' you use it 'willy nilly', someone can make a fork of Android that does, as Android is open source.
