When Will It Be Available?
The rollout for Starlink Direct-to-Cell will take time. SpaceX plans to enable text messaging over the satellite network later this year, with voice calls expected by 2025. For now, the timeline for the free emergency call feature remains unclear, as the satellite infrastructure to support it is still being deployed.
While Starlink internet plans currently cost around €40 per month, Musk has not revealed how much the mobile network service will cost once fully operational. However, the promise of free emergency services is a step toward making satellite technology accessible and beneficial for everyone.
