Starlink Testing ‘Global Roaming Service’ At $200

SpaceX’ Starlink is reportedly testing a new internet service that could let its users connect from almost anywhere in the world.

According to a message received by some Starlink users, this service called “Global Roaming Service” will cost USD 200 per month in addition to the base USD 599 Starlink Kit.

The service is expected to deliver typical high speed, “low-latency service intermixed with brief periods of poor connectivity, or none at all”, said the Starlink note. But it added that the service will improve over time.

Starlink is yet to get regulatory approvals from countries including India, Pakistan, and Cambodia, and is completely unavailable in others. But PCMag reports that Starlink is offering the Global Roaming service to some users outside the company’s coverage areas.

The Verge notes that Starlink already allows users to travel with their dishes but the new service might come with fewer limitations. The current USD 135 per month Starlink RV plan lets users fit their RVs with Starlink’s hardware for internet access while traveling. It also comes with a pricier dish option for accessing Starlink internet on the go but is available in limited areas around the world.
