  1. i will use elon phone , wild to be right on a major interstate and no service 3 miles out side town , like WTF why is my ATT phone got 1 flashing bar on a major interstate i35 is populated all the way through texas

  2. Verizon sucks under a bunch of bullies in the end of the day I would always lose service with them and I was a trucker over the road cross country nowadays I use AT&t prepaid I have service everywhere I go except for like one canyon that I was in in Idaho

  3. Starlink, is made for the government,
    It’s part of the surveillance state, it now, provided the connection to the remote places that they needed.

    He is part of the transhumanism movement

  4. When Starlink comes online with Cellphones, I’m FINALLY SWITCHING out of VERIZON. A customer since 1999 and tired of Blackout Spots at my job in the Harbor.

  5. The biggest problem is corruption in India. They are too corrupt to let Elon Musk bring this this too the Indians without having their grubby hands on the money. India doesn't even have the grid connected to so many areas yet. Off grid projects and Starlink can bring the poorest of Indians out of poverty and educational freedoms.

  6. As a quasi-retired Verizon and T-Mobile engineer that also worked on the financial side of wireless industry, I can tell you with confidence that while profits will most certainly dimmish over time, the margins are still over the roof in this industry and considering what they make off of used and new phone sales, It will mostly affect Customer Service and Human resources simply because they will reduce employees, and increase demand on the low level employees. It should also be noted that senior management will most likely take a 2-4% cut in bonuses per years but those multimillion-dollar bonuses will keep on coming.

  7. How well does Starlink work in a building?
    Starlink's Direct-to-Cell service is designed to work outdoors with a clear view of the sky, and signals are often too weak to reliably penetrate buildings or vehicles. Indoor coverage is limited, so users may need to step outside to get a connection.

  8. Anybody who has the Starlink, knows that they’ve been working on supplying a constant cell phone coverage with their satellites for at least five years now. I believe it was T-Mobile that they linked up with. I have to research that again, but if you had a T-Mobile account or Starlink account, you could get two bars all the time for your cell phone coverage no matter where you were at no matter how deep the valley no matter how high the mountain and trust me I live in the Rocky Mountains. But we’ve actually had this for several years. It’s just been a hidden option for Starlink customers only. There is a whole reason we were paying $179 a month when we first started. And they tried giving us as many bonuses that they could with also the Internet coverage.
