3 Years ago, I reserved Starlink device as a backup internet for my home. Today, I got an email saying that it is ready to ship within 1-2 weeks and I have 30 days trial and no contract needed. I honestly didn’t expect by then that it will take 3 years, because the release date was suppose to be sometime in 2023. I honestly don’t need Starlink, but I will only keep it as a backup for my Zain, Ooredoo, and STC routers. I will add it as the 4th device on my load balancer for emergencies. Now coming back to the device, there are two devices which are the standard device, and mini.
Starlink Standard Device: The Standard device costs KD122 and is designed to be permanently installed at a fixed location such as a home or office. This option is ideal for users who want a stable, long term setup with minimal movement once installed.
Starlink Mini Device: The Mini device costs KD92 and offers a smaller and portable design. While it can be installed at home like the Standard version, the Mini is also easy to carry and use in different locations, making it ideal for travel, camping, or remote work.
Before officially selling Starlink, it was being sold in Kuwait at 150-209 KD. For example Sky Phone sold out at 209 KD
If you already own a Starlink device and account from another country, you cannot simply update the address to Kuwait. Instead, you must:
- Cancel your existing subscription
- Transfer the device to a new Kuwait based account
- This step is necessary to activate service in Kuwait since it is part of SamaX now.
You can order it now without a reservation, I thought the reservation gave me priority, but that doesn’t feel it is the case. Go to Starlink website and check their devices, prices, and the optional accessories.
