These Starlink satellites have a large antenna to pick up cell signals. The antenna is a big part of the difference between V1 and V2 satellites.
Also, the bandwidth is pretty low. It tops out at 18Mbps per cell, but that is divided across all the users in the cell. Each person will get 100kbps.
Starlink is going to start with texting and add voice and data in 2025. They haven't indicated how fast data will I'm guessing 2G speeds. The service will basically be 2G, text, voice, and some data, everywhere.
