Is there a method to provide cellphone connectivity utilizing Starlink?


Recommended Posts

I live where there is no cellphone functionality; the cell signal strength is about  -120db.  Cellphones will detect my router's wi-fi signal, but (I believe) due to the fact that the cell signal I am able to receive does not have the "LTE" component, cellphones will not give satisfactory performance.  Is there a method to utilize Starlink in combination with some other technology, as a workaround?  Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi @will e

 

Some cell providers and cell phones support " WiFi Calling "

Wi-Fi calling is a feature that allows you to make and receive calls and texts over a Wi-Fi connection, instead of using your mobile network. It's useful when you have poor mobile coverage or no coverage.

You can then use any WiFi to do phone calls across rather than over cell.

I'd reach out to your mobile/cell provider to check if they support WiFi Calling.

 

I currently use WiFi Calling across starlink ( at major events ) and it works perfectly.

Hope this helps.
