I don’t see why not. Satellite phones exist (they’re illegal to carry into countries like India though) and they can call and SMS from just about anywhere in the world. If the restrictions are satellite-side, they definitely won’t.
I suspect you’ll be paying normal rates for satellite SMS if they do restrict you and you figure a way around it. Going by this random Google search result, a satellite SMS is rated like 0.6 minutes. With a minute price of about $1.30 per minute, that would be about $0.78 per SMS.
I bet you could use it anywhere, but you wouldn’t carry a conversation over it.
If they don’t ‘let’ you use it ‘willy nilly’, someone can make a fork of Android that does, as Android is open source.
