The possibility of accessing Starlink network through Mobile phones It is revolutionizing connectivity in remote areas, where conventional networks do not arrive.

That is why Elon Musk’s company, together with T-Mobile, are committed to changing telephony thanks to the satellite technology And they are on their way to providing high speed connectivity to regions with limited access, such as Argentina.

Since its launch, Starlink provides Internet access in areas where terrestrial infrastructure is not viable. During this year, the service will expand in the country to include Mobile devices.

It is estimated that the arrival in Argentina of this service will be approximately Mid this year. In its first stage, the Free connection will be limited to basic functionssuch as sending messages and communication with emergency services.

It is expected that in later phases the capacities to include voice calls and Internet access will be expanded. In order for the device to connect to the satellite network, it will be necessary to have the latest software update available for each model.

In this context, many people are seeing how they can do to start using it. What you have to know, among other things, is what cell phones are compatible with Starlink.

What are the cell phones compatible with Starlink

How the Smartphones will connect to Starlink

Direct to Cell is an innovation that allows cell phones with 4G connectivity to communicate directly with low orbit satellites.

Among its main characteristics are:

• Direct Satellite Connection: Does not require signal towers or terrestrial networks.
• Global coverage: Ideal for rural areas, islands or places without telecommunications infrastructure.

The Starlink network connection will be made automatically. When a user is out of reach of a traditional mobile network, the phone will connect to satellites without manual intervention. The device screen will appear on the device Message “T-Mobile Spacex”indicating that the phone is accessing the satellite network.

As we said at the beginning, in this initial phase, the functionalities will be limited to messaging, the exchange of location in real time and access to emergency services. These options are designed to guarantee basic safety and communication in situations where conventional mobile coverage is not available.

Once the test and adjustment phase is finished, Starlink’s coverage is expected to expand worldwidewith the aim of offering internet access in regions where terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure is limited or non -existent.
