Starlink Roam (Mobile Plans)

Starlink Roam (also called “Mobile”) is Starlink’s adventure-ready internet tier—built for RVs, campers, nomads, boaters, and anyone who demands connectivity wherever they roam. Here’s a vivid, feature-packed breakdown:

Mobility & Coverage

• On the move: Use your dish in motion at speeds up to 100 mph (160 kph)—perfect for road trips and life on wheels .

• Wide-ranging footprint:

  • Roam 50 GB gives you 50 GB domestic data per month.

  • Roam Unlimited offers truly unlimited data within your country.
    Both include nationwide land coverage, inland waters, marinas—and use near coastlines (up to 12 NM) .

• International use:

  • Up to 2 months of travel abroad per trip on available markets.

  • Coastal coverage across global regions for short 5-day stints (within a total of 60 days annually) .

Plans Explained

• Roam 50 GB ($)

  • 50 GB included (≈20 hrs HD video or 50 hrs video calls), with add-on data per GB ($1/GB)

  • Ideal for light, intermittent use—great for occasional campers or weekend adventurers.

• Roam Unlimited (~$165/month in the US)

  • No data cap, full-speed access anywhere in your country, inland/coastal waters, in motion and abroad

  • Speeds: up to 100 Mbps down, 25 Mbps up—a jump from the previous 50/10 Mbps

Why It’s Special

• Freedom & Flexibility: Pause/unpause monthly, swap between 50 GB and Unlimited at will—even mid-cycle.

• Roam Effectively Anywhere: Whether deep in the woods, cruising inland waterways, or docking off the coast, you’ll stay connected.

• Roam Global Upgrade: Pay more (~$200/month) and roam freely worldwide—though land-only use, and ocean passages need Priority (more costly)

Considerations & Caveats

• Deprioritized Traffic: Standard Roam is lowest priority—speeds may dip during peak times. Priority tiers are available for extra cost.

• Hardware needs:

  • In-motion and coastal use require Starlink hardware certified for movement—Starlink Mini, Standard, Performance Gen 2, or Flat High-Performance dish.

• Geographic limits: If you’re abroad over 2 months, you may need to update your registered address or risk suspension

• Sea travel: For offshore voyages beyond coastal limits or global ocean coverage, switch to Maritime/Priority plans—Roam alone won’t suffice .

Vivid Scenario

Picture pulling off a winding mountain road into a campsite. You set up your Starlink Mini on the picnic table, flip the switch, and in seconds you’re video-chatting with family, streaming a movie, or backing up 4K drone footage—rock-solid speeds, no buffering, no stress. Later, you drive down to a coastal marina: still connected at 25 MB/s upload, email flowing, Spotify in the background. Pack up, move on, and across borders—your internet stays alive for months.
