The Samsung Galaxy fold says that it has satellite if the 5G is not working does this phone as well do the same thing or should I choose a different phone
Yes, recent Samsung foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, include satellite connectivity features. They are designed to act as a fallback, automatically allowing you to send emergency messages or use specific apps when cellular or 5G coverage drops out.How Samsung Satellite Connectivity WorksEmergency & Texting: Samsung's satellite features—powered by partnerships with carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile, and Skylo—let you send SOS and text messages in dead zones.Supported Apps: When off the grid, you can access features on pre-loaded applications like Google Messages, WhatsApp, and Google Maps.Carrier Dependence: Satellite capabilities require specific network partnerships. Before purchasing, ensure your specific mobile provider supports direct-to-satellite messaging for your chosen device. ~Jorge

I got a text that said I could trade in my phone and it would cost $0+ for an upgrade. Then I click the button and it's $1,300. That's a pretty big typo....
The $1300 is the full retail price of the device. You will see the promotional discount as you complete your order and select your promotion. -Joe
