(I bought from HD* earlier today b/c I had a $15 coupon and b/c they have a 90-day return policy - not sure we need this just yet)
*price also available at WalMart, Target, Best Buy, and more possibly. Buy wherever you can stack a deal/etc.
I would imagine Starlink has no idea when Home Depot sold you the device, so this may not apply.
Either way, I'm in for 1 to prep for hurricane season.

Curious about this, what does one need to activate this in case of emergency?
If you bought this and just left it in the box, do you need cell service and that's it?
Been thinking about a backup ISP in case my fiber goes out. I understand BW limits would likely make this a costly backup.

I think you get 1 hour of free service when you first plug it in to activate, you do need access to your email or SMS for 2FA
Download the Starlink app on your phone before you lose connectivity

I bought and held for a few weeks last year, then activated during the series of storms and blackouts. Like a previous reply, you will need the app so it would be good to have on your phone during an emergency. I drove around in the storm till I found a cell signal and was able to connect using a portable battery.
