"Starlink added a page to its Help Center on Sunday detailing its offer of Starlink service credits for Venezuelans, providing free connectivity through February 3. According to the page, active Starlink customers in Venezuela will see service credits proactively applied to their accounts, while inactive customers will be able to reactivate through the beginning of February without having to pay for service."
"There's just one big problem with Elon Musk's latest generous humanitarian offer: Starlink isn't available in Venezuela. Take a look at the company's service map and you'll see, amid a sea of light-blue South American nations with active Starlink service, a dark-blue Venezuela, indicating that Starlink is "coming soon" to the latest country to be targeted for exports of freedom, US style."
"What does that mean for Venezuelan Starlink customers, however few or many there may be? They're roaming, naturally. "At this time, our focus is on enabling connectivity for new and existing customers to support the people of Venezuela with free service credits," Starlink said on the help page. "If you already have a Starlink kit in your possession, you can select a Roam plan to use your Starlink in Venezuela.""
Starlink posted a Help Center page offering service credits for Venezuelans that provide free connectivity through February 3. Active Venezuelan Starlink customers will receive credits applied proactively, and inactive customers can reactivate without payment through early February. Starlink does not currently offer official service in Venezuela and marks the country as "coming soon" on its service map. Any existing Starlink kits in Venezuela would be roaming devices and would require selecting a Roam plan to operate. Starlink warns that roaming in unauthorized countries may cause immediate service restrictions. Starlink did not respond to inquiries.
