Is there any way to get this notification to GO AWAY permanently? I know that satellite SOS is available, I saw the notification the first dozen times.

I have found a possible solution. Normally you cannot turn off notifications from certain system apps, but you CAN with the NotiStar plugin for Good Lock, available from the Galaxy Store. (Is there anything Good Lock can't fix on Samsung phones?)

Open NotiStar, tap on Application List, tap on the menu and select Show system Apps, then turn off Phone services.

I haven't seen any new notifications pop up so far today.

A word of caution, however, I have no idea what effect turning this off will have on other phone functions, but Phone and Phone Calls are separate items, so I'm hopeful it won't affect notifications for incoming or missed calls.

I did this and it changed nothing.  I still get every SOS notification every time I switch location on or off. even after reboot.

The only way I NEVER see it is keeping my location off, with that said, when I use my location for maps it pops up. Currently the satellite app does not allow notifications to be disabled but if you don't need your location on it helps at least stop it. I hope to God they fix this.

Maybe no way to turn off completely but a workaround is to turn the notification off for two hours. Click the notification bell on the bottom right of the notification and choose 2 hours. pain in the ars but at least you have 2 hours.

Following as well. These notifications are so annoying.

My S25Ultra just began showing the "Satellite SOS Isn't Set Up" notification today, after installing the Feb 1st Security Patch.  Apparently there's more to the update than a mere security patch.   I'm on Xfinity Mobile (which uses Verizon's network). 

Will do more research before deciding if I should disable this capability.  Seems like a helpful safety feature if you have no Cellular or Wi-Fi during an emergency.

It is not helpful to be notified of this feature every time I restart my phone.
