It's interesting to note that this function won't be accessible until November and will initially only operate in the US and Canada.

It's important to note that Huawei released this functionality before Apple with its Mate50 series.
The Mate 50 and Mate 50 Pro smartphones, according to the Chinese business, would enable users to exchange brief text messages over China's international BeiDou satellite network, enabling for contact in places without connection.
