Can I get a phone number or make calls directly through Starlink?
No. Starlink does not issue phone numbers or traditional phone service. To make and receive calls, you will still need to keep your phone number and service with your current mobile or landline provider.

Can I use my mobile phone on Starlink?
Yes – indirectly. If your mobile phone and carrier support Wi-Fi Calling, you can make and receive calls over your Starlink internet connection instead of using mobile towers. This can be especially useful in areas with poor mobile reception but good Starlink connectivity.
Bottom Line
Starlink is an internet-only service. It does not replace your mobile provider, SIM card, or phone plan. If you want to make calls, send texts, and keep your existing number, you’ll still need an active phone plan from a traditional telco such as Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, or other mobile carriers.
