This is interesting. Most of cell towers are on battery backup for at least 24 hours. As long as you have a battery backup for your device it should allow for Internet Service even during power outages.
It will all be interesting when Elon finally gets Starlink up and running. If there was a way for a mobile phone to connect directly via sat chip, you could do voice over IP and do away with cellular service all together. It could serve as your connection for everything. What a disruption for the Telco's.
- toomuchtodo 7y agoIf your phone supports cellular over IP (T-Mobile does, for example), this should work if the StarLink terminal supports a wifi hotspot function. You will still need a pizza box sized sat terminal.
