To make its plan successful, SpaceX is preparing a large number of V2 satellites for space. These will deliver 5G speeds with 100x more data density than the current V1 generation satellites.
The company has also renamed its Direct-to-Cell service to Starlink Mobile. The company claims that the new satellites will make streaming, browsing the internet, using high-speed apps, and making voice calls much easier. It will feel exactly like you’re connected to a ground-based mobile network.

With Starlink Mobile, people’s gadgets will remain connected even in remote areas. High-speed internet will be available even in places without mobile towers. The video shows that users will not need to purchase a new phone; it will work with their existing phone.
In simple terms, the Starlink satellites in space will become your mobile towers. However, Starlink will have to partner with local telecom companies to provide this service. The advantage of this is that people won’t see a “no service” message on their phones. The company may start with text messages first, and then introduce voice and data services.
