Starlink Launches $10 Backup Plan for Emergencies and Weekend Travel
SpaceX’s Starlink is now offering a low-cost “Roam 10GB” plan designed for light use during emergencies or weekend travel.
The new option, which launched this week, provides 10GB of data for $15 CAD/month ($10 in the USA) and aims to give users a reliable backup when their primary internet goes down.
According to an email sent to customers on March 17 and obtained by Telsa North, the plan is suited for short-term use—enough for roughly one day of typical internet activity. If users run out of data, they can purchase more on a pay-per-gigabyte basis through their Starlink account.
The Roam 10GB plan includes nationwide coverage, in-motion use, international roaming, and even connectivity along coastlines. It’s being marketed as an easy way to stay online during power outages or when travelling off-grid.
To activate the plan, users need to log in to their Starlink account, navigate to “Subscriptions,” select their service line, and choose “Activate Service” under the Roam 10GB option.
