During the course of the last year, Starlink has been very productive, increasing both service availability and variety. Now, the corporation wants to go even farther by providing its service in locations where it hasn’t yet officially started. SpaceX apparently has a new tier of service that allows anybody on a mailing list to test out their satellite internet service, but they aren’t advertising it on their website just yet.
NEWS: Starlink is testing a new "Global Roaming Service" for $200/mo, plus the standard $599 for Hardware. Will they offer this as an add-on for $65/mo like portability? @RealTeslaNorth @MarcusTuck3 https://t.co/c2vQhtOUL8 pic.twitter.com/kiLMsMkhDY

The business claims that it is able to do this via the use of its inter-satellite connections, which are at the heart of its new “Global Roaming Service” and provide global coverage. Company claims service should be fast with minimal latency; nonetheless, there may be occasions of weak or no connection. As much as we value the firm’s honesty, this doesn’t sound ideal at $200 each month. But, the company does promise that this problem will be much reduced in the future.
In regards to cost, you will still need to buy the basic Starlink kit, which retails for $599. The firm offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on the equipment, just as with their other programs. You may get your money back if it doesn’t work out. This means that Starlink may be accessed from outside the United States, although SpaceX has some caveats in their release. The business demands that all transactions be conducted in US dollars. In addition, buyers outside the US will take on the role of Importer of Record, making it their responsibility to ensure the goods satisfies all local laws and regulations. The importer must pay all applicable taxes and customs fees. Even though this is a worldwide service, you should examine the coverage map to make sure your location is within the service’s reach before placing an order.
