As many of you are aware, Starlink is currently unavailable in San Diego, causing frustration and uncertainty among some customers. At Ameritechs, we take pride in identifying solutions, even in challenging situations. We consider this shortage to be temporary, probably due to the increase of snowbirds and holiday travelers in our area, BUT we have found an alternative for those who require Starlink service right away.
Our technician Edwin Sanchez recently encountered this challenge during an installation and found a creative solution to keep the customer connected. Edwin shared:
"I did an install, and it wouldn't let me set up and choose a residential plan for customer activation (due to sold-out status in San Diego). But there might be a way around the sold-out problem. The customer opted for roaming just to get it running. After everything was activated, I tried to change the plan to residential, and it went through. The only thing is, the confirmation says the residential plan won't take effect until next month, Dec. 26. That might be a loophole if customers don’t mind paying $165 for the first month."
This workaround allows customers to get their Starlink system online using the roaming plan. While this plan is slightly more expensive at $165 a month, it’s a temporary measure to bridge the gap until a residential plan can be activated.
