Do any of you starlink guys use voip on it? Wondering if it's stable enough for phone.

Hopefully CS works it out and it's minor.

I use wifi calling on my cell phone at home. It doesn't have the longest range but does work. Making a mesh network would help with that.

FYI -
For whoever is interested.....
Starlink Standard is on sale for $299 (was $499).
Sale runs until Oct 5.

I think we'll get one for RV purposes.

Make sure you get the Roam for use in the RV. As I understand, the home antenna won't work for roam but I stand to be corrected.

Yes, Starlink charges the same as Cimtel and Hughesnet charged for crap service…
$120/month.

The Roam has recently went from $150 a month to $165 a month.
I suspect the prices will go down a few years from now as there are a plethora of people putting up constellations currently, but it will be a few years before competition will get the price lower.

To my understanding - there is the Hardware:
1) The Standard sized antenna, or mini sized antenna. (Both includes a router)

2) Then there is the service plan:
Residential plan (for stationary locations),
or the Roam plan (for mobile locations - like for rv's).

The sale is for the larger (standard) antenna. Then you have to choose the right data/service plan. (I.e. choose Roam for RVs)


We're planning on the Standard sized antenna, with the Roam service plan.
Correct me if I'm mistaken.

We set up voip systems on it and so far haven’t had any issues.

I use it for VoIP and zoom meetings all day Ling while the family is streaming on a couple tvs, no issues aside from a 1-2 second hiccup every 12-14hrs due to a slight obstruction.

I’m getting an error message like this, but it’s not unplugged.

I had a similar issue initially with the 150’ cable. I moved the location of the receiver so I could use the 75’ cable it came with and it works perfect. I have read they are having connectivity issues with the 150’ cables.

The 75’ cable is what has worked fine for over a year. As I said, it all worked great until it didn’t. Once I got it set up, I haven’t touched it, so something must’ve gone wrong with either the router or dish.
