RV Starlink in Mexico

boe4fun - 9-11-2023 at 11:19 AM

Been researching buying the Starlink RV system in BCS. We have property in Bahía Asunción through a Fideicomiso, and travel quite a bit around the peninsula. One forum states that I’ll need a RFC or a CURP (which would further require a Permanent Resident Status). Any updated info would be appreciated.

A friend from Colorado drives a Class A RV to Mulege every winter with an FMM. He bought Mexico RV Starlink while in Mulege and had the equipment delivered to a local restaurant.

We just got our 2nd starlink. we were never aked for any sort of ID, just a valid CC and a Mexican address.

Gracias a todos. Conferred with mi vecina in Bahía Asunción and have all relevant info.

Ditto Chippy. Had mine delivered to Ensenada and took it down to Bahia. Used it there for 5 months and now I'm using it in San Diego. One more month and then taking back to BoLA. No questions asked.

The shipping address is the trickiest part of the process. First you have to figure out where to ship, then it has to be in the right format to fit Starlink's data system. I remember one mistake that had me stumped for hours and kept rejecting my information was I was using BCS for the state instead of BS.

My neighbors who travel on tourist visas got Starlink for their houses in Mx with no problem. We are off grid and used my nephew's town address for shipping. For the install address we used the Google Plus location. You won't need that for RV Starlink I assume.

I applied some time ago and waited several months for delivery. Once I got mine the neighbors applied and got theirs shipped within two weeks. I think the skids on the system are well greased now.

Good luck! It works great!

Starlink Roaming (RV) Rules

As I understand them, roaming starlink customers can use the system outside their registered country for two months, after which they must register in the new country. I'm sure that a US starlink customer would not be forced to re-register in Mexico and pay half-price in pesos, but what about the other way around? Has anyone with a roaming (not global roaming) contract encountered a problem using the system in another country that the one it was registered in? larryC mentions using a Mexico system in San Diego for at least two months, if not more.

I was in az,ut,nev and ca for a couple of months this summer with my Mex Starlink RV package with 0 problems.
