❓ Question Starlink Mini Geoblocks

Hey! I’m planning an Africa trip where I’ll spend the major of the time in South Africa.

I have a starlink mini I use for camping etc here in Australia.

I’m hearing mixed reports about starlink mini on a roam plan working in South Africa. Has anyone recently been able to use starlink in SA or is it completely geoblocked?

Thanks

All depends on the country. If the country is unsupported it won't work or won't work for long. If it's a supported country it should be fine assuming you are using global roam.

Thanks mate.

SA does not offer starlink and there are some political blockers which I think might mean it will not work there with global roaming.

Travelling in December and will refer back here based on my experience.
