About Service Address Starlink. Starlink is available in multiple places and allows you to shift your access location, unlike other broadband Internet services.
Our guide today will detail how you can change your service address. It will also highlight the service address-changing process.
What Is My Service Address?
In layman’s terms, your service address is where you intend to use the Starlink internet service.
You can identify your service address by the plus codes of the area where you reside. Starlink will use the plus code to determine your location’s actual coordinates.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure you input the correct address when filling in your service address. Otherwise, Starlink cannot find the exact cell where you intend to access the internet.
Notably, although you can use plus codes to highlight your address, they are not exact indicators of the location.
Can You Change your Starlink Service Address?
Change Address.
Think of a scenario whereby you want to change your residence. Can you continue using your subscribed Starlink service but from a different service address?
Yes, this is possible. It doesn’t matter if you’re relocating to an area within your current residence or far away. Starlink will continue providing service despite your relocation, provided you’re in a covered area.
Therefore, when you change your service address, the company searches for the nearest satellite in your new area. This shift will not result in any service disruption; this is one area where Starlink beats other ISPs.
How To Change Starlink Service Address？
Movers Truck.
There are three primary scenarios when changing your Starlink service address.
Relocation to the Same Service Area
If you’re changing location but are a few kilometers from your current residence, simply set up Starlink in your new place.
Next, visit your Starlink account, and from the Dashboard, you’ll see the slot to input your new service address.
Update the new address, and the dish will search for the nearest satellite and connect. You can now resume accessing the internet service like before.
Relocation to a Different Service Area
Relocation.
Say that you want to move to a new State or Country and still want to continue using Starlink service. Here’s the tricky bit: You can move to a new area that doesn’t have Starlink coverage.
Therefore, the rule of thumb is always to check if Starlink is present at your new residence.
Once you launch the website, you will find this information from the Starlink coverage map.
If you’re sure there’s coverage, the next step is inputting your new service address. Allow Starlink some time to approve this change.
It may take up to an hour, so you should be patient as the approval is underway.
So, is there a chance of Starink rejecting your service address change request? Yes, this is possible when the new service area lacks sufficient capacity to accommodate new users. What this means is that you will be put on a waiting list.
Temporary Relocation
Campsite Browsing.
Many would consider using Starlink Internet on their traveling and camping expeditions. The most overarching reason is that its service is excellently available in remote areas such as deserts and rural.
Or maybe you have a scenario where you’re unsure if you will stay at a particular place permanently. If either is your case, we have a more viable option that doesn’t involve changing the service address online.
- First, subscribe to the Starlink portability package for an extra $25 on top of your monthly subscription fee. We recommend this service only to Starlink Residential customers.
- Once you’re on the Starlink Roam package, you can access the internet from anywhere, provided coverage exists.
Note that the change in your Starlink data plan is better than changing your locations every time you shift places.
Why Does Giving the Correct Service Address Matter?
Wrong Address.
You may use the street address or company name near your location when providing your service address. The rule of thumb is always to ensure you give the correct address.
The essence is to ensure Starlink can locate your actual coordinates and direct you to the ideal satellite.
Providing the wrong address for new customers also means Starlink will not ship the package to the correct location.
Wrap Up
We have provided a detailed account of the recommended steps to change your address. Don’t forget to update your new address on the app, which is critical in resetting your dish to the nearest location.
Finally, a Starlink Roam service will be the best option if you occasionally change location. We wish you all the best as you use Starlink from your new home.
