Theoretically if the chipset supports the bands whatever satellite provider uses, the phone can support it.
Given the terrestrial radio performance of my 6, I wouldn't ditch my satphone for it.
And it has a reasonable antenna and a proper amplifier. The kit to talk to the satellites isn't usually exactly like the kit to talk to cell phone towers. In theory you send and receive on the correct frequency and it just happens but usually you either need to be pushing a little bit more power or you need to be highly directional to get reliable communication.
