BREAKING: Airtel Uganda has launched the nation’s first satellite-to-mobile service with Starlink. "With Starlink, wherever you are, you can now stay connected. Where the road stops, communication still continues. Connectivity still continues."

btw airtel service is not doing smoothly in india from ux standpoint. constant issues with calls, wi-fi, etc.

👏👏👏

That's commendable

In some places "where the road stops" is not just a figure of speech 👀🤞

This service is so convenient! I'm tired of having to get a new SIM card every time I travel to a new country.

Direct-to-cell means regular phones connect where towers can't reach. If it holds up in Uganda, this becomes the template for rural coverage across Africa.

RIP "bad signal in the village" excuse. Soon nowhere is truly "off-grid."

🅰️👁️🅰️

Uganda is move faster than Thailand btw

Starlink only works if your phone has line of sight with a satellite

Okay

Way to go

💯👍👍

giving advanced Western tech to 3rd world savages who can never build anything on their own is destroying Civilization. Elon is a traitor.

Where roads end, signals begin. 📡 Starlink's satellite-to-mobile leapfrogging turns Uganda's toughest terrain into its greatest connectivity advantage — no towers, no wires, just orbit. This is how the next billions come online. 👑

Amazing news🤍 • Great Rest 💤Doge😽
