What happens when Starlink puts you on a waiting list?
If you’re in an area that’s been wait-listed by Starlink, you’ll get the following message during checkout:
“Starlink is at capacity in your area. Order now to reserve your Starlink. You will receive a notification once your Starlink is ready to ship.”
If you agree, you’ll pay a $99 deposit and agree to pay the remaining $249 for the kit and $120 per month when it arrives. There’s no option to choose one of Starlink Roam’s plans if you use an address in a wait-listed area.
If you buy a Starlink from a retailer like Walmart, Cabela’s, Home Depot, or Best Buy, you can activate the device during checkout. You’ll need your unique Starlink Identifier.
