Globe has launched Starlink Mobile, a direct-to-cell satellite service designed to reach the ~4% of Filipinos still outside traditional mobile coverage 🇵🇭
This follows NTC approval and makes the Philippines the first market in Southeast Asia with a commercially available Starlink D2C service
When cell towers are out of reach, compatible phones can connect directly to Starlink satellites for essential connectivity like texts, maps, and messaging apps
No dish or extra hardware is required. Just your phone and a clear view of the sky
For an archipelago with 7,000+ islands, remote communities, disaster zones, and weak-signal areas, this is a huge step
Starlink is starting to turn dead zones into reachable zones
