Starlink ordered… I feel it’s the only sensible option now..

[zac]

So after a bit of thought I think the best way for me to continue using this is to transfer it to Spain as that's mainly where we will be using it. With this in mind, I am assuming I need to do the following
1. Transfer my existing Starlink from my UK account (i.e. put it into transfer mode)
2. Activate the Starlink but choose Español (ES) and input a campsite somewhere in Spain and input a new email address
3. Not sure on this one as I don't have a Spanish bank account, but I do have Starling bank which I don't now use but could for this, would this work? or can you still use just a credit card?
4. I am not in Spain till 2nd week of December, so I am assuming best to leave when I am actually there, or can this be done before I travel?
5. I will be pausing the service then before we leave Spain 3 weeks later.
6. Will there be a transfer fee?

If this is possible then I will do it as I am not willing to pay the £96 for the few times we will use it abroad, but this gives another option.
Thoughts?

1. I would buy in Spain… makes it all very easy and no transfer which you can’t do for four months if you buy in UK.

2. You don’t want it linked to UK Roam, you want it to be pure Spanish. See above answer!

3. Not sure if there is a curry’s equivalent in España? Just order from Starlink and get it delivered to a campsite… very easy!

4. I don’t see why not. I don’t have a Spanish bank account but I do have various accounts which are easy to pay in Euros from. The easiest is the Starling Euro Account where I will set up a recurrent payment for the Spanish service.

Spain it is then. We will call in at Mediamarkt shop on the way down in Zaragoza they will be the most likely shop I think.

If you see one on your travels in Spain over the next couple of months please post

Seems like Spain is the place to register. Starling bank is being used ok. Not sure on transfer fee but this will quickly be recovered from cheaper service if needed.

I was going to sell the old dish but might as well keep it on standby now as like you don't really want to pay £96. it can be backup if I don't get to Spain

I'll get a new 12v mini in Spain the extra cost to buy will quickly be recovered by cheaper monthly bills. Once set up I'll probably change the other dish to France.

Only applies to old contracts before 21st June 2023.

I missed that bit - sorry

I've got 200GB but limited to 30GB roaming as start date was last December.

Even before the relaxation I was using far more than my allowance without any issues.

Didn't use that much on last trip but previously cut off at 30gb.
