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

If you are paused in the UK (email address 1), transfer to Spain (email address 2), can you transfer back to the UK using your original UK account (email address 1) or do you have to create another UK account (email address 3)?

Just to help avoid confusion with cancel or transfer Starlink. For myself or anyone considering this later.

Wether you go down the Carpmart route of cancel your current subscription totally first and then reregister or your route of straight transfer from logging in to their website with current subscription (paused) and hitting the transfer button.

You will need an address in said country of choice. (campsite is Ok)

A different E mail address to one previously used for subscription.

As it's in Europe a means of paying in Euro currency (Revolut)

You can keep your existing phone number.

I think that covers it.

Good coverage I think, I paid mine using my UK credit card that doesn't charge when using abroad. All went through OK for me.

Spain theoretically has a €9 per month govt levy too, though I’ve not been charged this… not sure why I’ve not been charged though?

The 9€ is for fixed residential ,I believe.roaming doesn't have it

I asked this question of Starlink Customer Service last month. The original email address won’t be associated with an account so can be used again. So you only need two email addresses to swap around. You can only swap every three months according to their terms. I raised this as it doesn’t work with their two month max roaming policy. They have put a note on my account that I can swap every two months if needed. The issue is, that account no longer exists; which I’m not sure they thought through! I certainly didn’t. Luckily, my approach at this stage will mean I’m not swapping either Starlink from the countries they are registered in again at the moment.

See this is the stuff I don’t get.

We can change to a cheaper price country probably have more use and yet pay with a UK based credit card. I do wonder how long before they cotton on? Until then

Great information though and I will give the clarity card a try first

Now if only I could use my UK address and not have 60 days restrictions

We always get shafted in the UK for subscriptions, YouTube do the same with their shocking premium prices compared to other countries where it's a fraction of the cost.
At least for now starlink are allowing people to move it which is good. Not sure for how long though but for now it's working.
You can Also use the service once migrated in the UK for 2 months as per their terms and conditions. After this you will need to return to Spain though to make it work but is still an option. I've never used it in the UK before as I've always had mobile service but it may come in handy.

My initial thought was Spain. But as someone else mentioned and made me think France may be a better logistical option for us as we never use the direct ferry to Spain preferring to drive through France also covers the holidays to Northern Europe without having to reset in Spain as this would be done on the way home. It just limits Spain to 60 days

Another option is to get a mini currently on offer in Europe and register original in France and mini in Spain especially when you are saving £36 per month on uk prices.

I like your plan!

It’s also made me reconsider mine! The dish I’m picking up tomorrow Gen2 like my current ‘Spanish’ one, I will now probably register in France as this is where I shall use it for 3 months a year. This gives me options for roaming in Spain, Portugal, Italy etc and the Spanish one for five or six months whilst we are there, also with roaming capabilities too!

It’s a bit of faff, but worth it for the service and way cheaper than the global roaming option!

What I find is funny is that if Elon had left things as they were I would have been happy but in trying to restrict us we end up with more for less.
Hoping to find a shop if France now that stocks the mini. Darty seem to sell them.
