The Elon Musk's Global Phone Service
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on November 25, 2024, 1:34 PM
“Starlink’s new system enables Internet connectivity for your mobile phone with no extra equipment or special app. It just works.” - Elon Musk on SpaceX Starlink solution.
(Starlink satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities enable ubiquitous access to texting, calling, and browsing wherever you may be on land, lakes, or coastal waters.)
If this becomes available in Nigeria at a price point that makes sense, would you drop your GSM providers since now you can "roam" globally untethered by any national boundary. When that happens, your phone will indeed become a global phone.
