Starlink's Direct to Cell service allows your regular mobile phone to connect directly to satellites in space, just like it would to a cell tower on the ground. This means you can make calls, send texts, and use data even in areas without traditional cell coverage. The service doesn't require any special equipment or apps; your existing LTE-compatible phone will work seamlessly.
Starlink plans to roll out this service in stages:
2024: Text messaging capabilities become available.
2025: Voice and data services are introduced.
This initiative aims to eliminate dead zones, ensuring you're connected wherever you are, whether on land or at sea. For instance, in Ukraine, Starlink has partnered with Kyivstar to launch messaging services by late 2025, followed by voice and data services.
By turning satellites into space-based cell towers, Starlink's Direct to Cell service enhances global connectivity, making it easier to stay connected in remote or underserved areas.
I support holding President Ruto to account. I support the drive to free all Kenyans abducted by agents of state. I support all efforts that make Kenya a better country. I'm for the rule of law. I agree that President Ruto over promised and underdelivered. I DON'T support "Ruto must go". I actually oppose it. I also support war against JurisPESA.
