It's much harder at higher frequencies because you need to point your antenna more accurately. That's pretty hard to do by hand on a phone.

Alternatively, the aperture of the antenna on the satellite can be increased. So high-gain from space, but low gain on Earth, which is the approach of AST SpaceMobile.
