Service Activation Charge (Including Pause & Reactivation)


If you purchased a Starlink Kit through a retailer or third-party, and you activate service as a new account via starlink.com/activate, you will be charged for the upcoming month of service immediately.

If you are reactivating service or adding a purchased Starlink through a retailer or third-party on your existing account, you will be charged a pro-rated cost dependent on the plan's monthly cost and time remaining on your existing billing cycle.
