SpaceX is making waves with its latest offer, expanding the free Starlink Mini promotion to select Residential subscribers in the U.S. and Canada who have been loyal customers for over a year. These lucky customers are receiving emails inviting them to claim a $499 Starlink Mini kit at no cost, along with discounted rates on Roam plans.
The email from Starlink reads, “As a thank you for being a Residential customer for over a year, you’ll receive a $0 Starlink Mini — so you can take the same fast, reliable internet you use at home anywhere you go.” This generous offer includes a portable Starlink Mini kit equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and a kickstand, making it convenient for on-the-go use. The compact dish is designed to fit in a backpack, making it ideal for travel, camping, or boating adventures. Additionally, the Mini will remain in Standby Mode for just $5 USD ($7 CAD) per month, providing unlimited low-speed data for backup connectivity and emergency messaging.
For users looking to activate the Mini for travel, they will also enjoy a 50% discount on Starlink Roam plans. The Roam service starts at $50 USD ($70 CAD) per month for 50GB of data, with an unlimited tier available for $165 USD ($189 CAD) per month.
This recent expansion of the free Starlink Mini promotion follows a similar offering in Australia last month, where long-standing Residential customers were treated to a complimentary Mini dish and discounted Roam plans. It’s important to note that the free Mini kit is considered a rental, and users will need to return it if they cancel their Residential subscription or the service plan associated with the Mini.
For those who prefer to own their hardware or can’t wait for the promotional email, Starlink is currently running a $200 discount on the Mini dish, reducing the price to $299 in the U.S. and $399 in Canada. This offer is exclusive to existing customers who have been subscribed to the Residential plan for more than a year.
In a bid to attract new users, Starlink recently slashed the price of its Standard dish to just $89 in the U.S. — the lowest ever — and $249 in Canada, along with reduced monthly plan rates.
