Starlink appears to be offering a $10 plan to reengage lapsed subscribers, according to reporting from PC Magazine.
Though the $10 plan offer is not mentioned on the Starlink website, the PC Mag article noted multiple references to the offer online.
A Reddit thread said the $10 Starlink plan offers 10 GB of data. Subscribers can exceed the cap, for an additional charge — $2 per GB on this plan, which is higher than the $1 per GB on Starlink’s 50GB Roam Plan. Starlink has other Roam plans available that may be less expensive options, depending on a user’s needs and usage.
However, it doesn’t appear that the $10 plan Starlink is offering now is available to new customers on the official Starlink website.
According to the various reports, the Starlink offer, sent via email, indicates that the company is marketing the $10 price to customers who have deactivated their Starlink service, which can cost $120 per month through a standard residential plan.
Starlink has been looking for ways to add new subscribers to its service, not only by itself, but also through business partners.
During this year’s Super Bowl, a T-Mobile commercial announced satellite service on their phones through Starlink.
The service, now in beta, uses a combination of satellite and mobile technology to help keep people connected in the more than 500,000 square miles of the country unreached by any carrier’s earth-bound cell towers. The beta service is available to everyone until July — not just T-Mobile customers. The technology works on most smartphones from the last four years.
Beginning in July, T-Mobile Starlink will be included at no extra cost on T-Mobile’s Go5G Next plan (including variations like Go5G Next 55+). Business customers will also get the T-Mobile Starlink plan at no extra cost on Go5G Business Next, first responder agencies on T-Priority plans and other select premium rate plans. T-Mobile customers on any other plan can add the service for $15/month per line.
