Starlink monthly cost
Those of you with Starlink in Baja (not a subscription based out of USA), what is the monthly charge? How much was the equipment? (Purchased in Baja,
not USA.)
I ask because I am hearing it is $150 - $200 a month in USA, but abound $55/month in Baja.
If you do have Starlink in USA, what is the monthly cost?

Mexico Starlink costs 8300 mxn for the equipment plus shipping. Then it's 1100 mxn monthly for the service. It's a bit more if you get the rv package.

Our US based StarLink that we use in Baja Sur costs $145/month US. We’re not on RV. With RV you can stop and start StarLink by the month.

I have used mine (rv version) in the western US but not Canada. I doubt that there would be a problem using it in Canada.

I am not so sure about that, when I pass through Canada the roaming fee's are more than double what I encounter in Baja!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Just looked at my latest invoice and I do have the starlink mx rv pay 1350 mxn per month. My equipment cost a year ago was 3600 mxn, there were
running a special when I pulled the trigger pure luck. Never have used it in the US since we are full time here, ran it for 2 months in Mulege and the
rest of the time at home in Socorro. Can be turned on and off as needed.

Here's a good article about the current Starlink options, which are either "Starlink Residential", "Starlink Roam Regional", or "Starlink Roam
Global". Prices are US prices.
Note that the "Roam" options are slower and more expensive.
"Starlink Roam Regional" is continent-based, so US, Mexico, Canada roaming is OK.

A word of caution. I bought my starlink in Canada and never used it there. I rought it here to Baja and activated it. Now I have to pay the Canadian
rate which is $180/month CDN. Sucks because you can't change the service adress to mexico
sold out and got out !!!
