O2 Satellite / Starlink

[Barnoe]

The O2 network now has Starlink access for only £3 a month.
So camping in the middle of nowhere and no signal, you can now use Starlink.

Only issue for some will be that it only works on Samsung S25 or newer phones.

Quote "O2 Satellite sits alongside our main network, providing coverage in areas the O2 network previously didn’t reach" Does that mean I will be able to get mobile coverage as I don't at the moment and live 1.5 miles outside the centre of Salisbury.

Add the satellite addon for 1 month and see if it improves things.
If it doesn't, remove it again

Reading the FAQs, it implies a data connection.

What can I do with O2 Satellite?
O2 Satellite provides coverage in areas the O2 network previously didn't reach - meaning you can stay connected with services like location sharing, and apps that matter like WhatsApp, Messenger and maps.

Text messaging and standard voice calls, including emergency calls, aren’t supported on O2 Satellite.
