Starlink Direct to Cell is not available yet
- flutas 2y agoI have it on my Pixel 9 Pro XL right now and have had it since the end of January. Worked well so far for me in the country where Tmo typically has had dead spots, if not a little slow. https://i.imgur.com/wrl5KLf.png https://i.imgur.com/wrl5KLf.png
- moolcool 2y agoThat is just texting though, not voice or data.
- schiffern 2y agoLet's not move goalposts. It's still undeniably both "Starlink" and "Direct To Cell," so I would say that Starlink Direct To Cell is indeed available.
- moolcool 2y agoMoving the goalposts? The point I was refuting was "Any benefits Iridium was supposed to provide are currently achieved by Starlink", but Iridium offers services today which StarLink does not.
- keyme 2y agoIs it 5G only or does LTE also work?
- jandrese 2y agoIt's only for texting so it doesn't really matter. That said Iridium is so slow it's mostly only useful for texting type situations as well. Even the voice is so heavily compressed and laggy as to be mildly unpleasant to use.
