It looks like Starlink has now decided that roaming will not be allowed in countries that do not have the service available (most of Africa currently), and that you will need to return to the country where the Starlink is registered every 2 months. More information here: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadb...

Since we made this video, Starlink has changed their terms of service. Now you can't transfer ownership until 90 days after activation or 120 days after purchase (whichever comes sooner). This is not an issue if you purchase the kit in Africa and have a subscription in the country where it was purchased. But if you purchase overseas, as we did, then you need to transfer the kit to yourself and this will not be possible for 90-120 days. Your options in this case are to wait until you are able to transfer, or you can change your plan in the purchase country to the Mobile Global plan and use the Starlink on this plan for the first 3 months. Unfortunately this is quite expensive. In Australia the Global plan costs 300AUD per month.

I think the best bet at present is to purchase in Nigeria, Eswatini, Zambia, Mozambique or another African country. But check pricing, it varies quite widely. We initially tried to purchase the kit in Zambia, but they required a Zambian proof of identity.

I show how to import and set up #starlink in South #Africa and test it in motion on the roof rack of a 4x4. I also discuss flat mount options and 12V conversion for RV and #overlanding use, as well as the new gen 3 flat mount Starlink dish. Once we are done with the boring stuff Andy comes round and we drive up the mountain in Barry to test the system. We strap it to the roof rack of the 4x4 and drive around for a while to test how well it works in motion and on rough gravel roads.
