"Starlink says its focus is "on enabling connectivity for new and existing customers to support the people of Venezuela." At the time of writing, Starlink does not yet appear to formally operate in the country, as its availability map states that service there is "coming soon." Still, Starlink says it is proactively applying service credits to active accounts in Venezuela until February 3."
"Those who have paused or canceled their service but still have the necessary Starlink hardware can also reactivate their account at no extra cost for now. Of course, those without a Starlink terminal won't be able to take advantage of this offer right now."
SpaceX's Starlink is offering Venezuelan customers temporary free access by applying service credits to active accounts through February 3 and allowing paused or canceled accounts with existing hardware to reactivate at no cost. Power and internet outages affected parts of Caracas and other regions after U.S. forces captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Starlink does not yet formally operate in Venezuela and lists service as "coming soon" while it monitors evolving conditions and regulatory requirements with no timeline for local purchase availability. SpaceX previously provided free service in Ukraine following the 2022 invasion.
