Please note! Kyivstar is the only Starlink partner that sells anonymous eSIMs, which do not require registration or activation with a connection to personal data. There's no contract, and it's a prepaid service that doesn't require mandatory monthly payments to keep the eSIM active. Additionally, Kyivstar offers some of the cheapest data roaming plans in 27 countries: 40 GB for €12, 20 GB for €7, 10 GB for €5, and 5 GB for €3, as well as some of the cheapest monthly plans in the world.

Here is a concise overview of the Starlink Direct to Cell service:

This is a direct-to-satellite communication service that will be available on any smartphone using a physical SIM or virtual eSIM that supports the service. Starlink Direct to Cell was developed to eliminate power outages and internet access disruptions worldwide.

Unlimited Range and Coverage Starlink satellites providing the Direct to Cell service offer access to messaging, calls, and internet Browse wherever you are—on land, on a lake, or in coastal waters. Direct to Cell also connects LTE-enabled IoT devices.

Stay Connected Everywhere Direct to Cell works with existing LTE phones anywhere with a clear view of the sky. It doesn't require new hardware, special firmware, or specific applications, ensuring seamless access to messages, calls, and data.

A Telecommunications Tower in Space The Starlink satellites that provide the Direct to Cell service are equipped with an advanced eNodeB modem, which acts as a space-based communications tower, enabling network integration similar to a standard roaming partner.

Eliminate Dead Zones The Direct to Cell service provides connectivity in remote areas, giving customers peace of mind when they need it most.

SpaceX Technology SpaceX has leveraged its expertise in manufacturing and launching the world's most advanced rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink satellites that provide the large-scale Direct to Cell service.

The satellites providing the Direct to Cell service will initially be launched using the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and later with the Starship spacecraft. Once in orbit, the satellites will instantly connect to the Starlink network via laser, providing global connectivity.

Mobile and IoT Support In addition to expanding mobile coverage, Direct to Cell will provide ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity beyond terrestrial coverage, connecting millions of devices in key industries worldwide.
