Expanded free Starlink equipment supply in selected American states
SpaceX's $0 Starlink Kit Promotion Expands to 26 U.S. States
SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer and satellite internet provider, has announced a new promotion for its Starlink satellite internet service. The U.S. states eligible for the promotion, as of July 2025, include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming.
Under this promotion, customers can get a standard hardware kit worth $349 for free. The kit includes an antenna, Wi-Fi router, mounting base, and necessary cabling. However, to be eligible for the promotion, customers must commit to a 12-month service agreement.
Customers who cancel early, relocate their service, or attempt to resell the equipment may be charged the full cost of the kit. It is important to note that the hardware kit itself is free under the promotion, but customers still pay local sales tax on the $349 value and a $30 shipping fee.
The promotion aims to boost adoption in parts of the country where Starlink has excess capacity. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk acknowledged the promotion on social media, stating that Starlink is trying out a service plan commitment in exchange for $0 down in some markets.
The promotion is live on Starlink.com, and customers can check their eligibility by entering their service address on the website. However, it is not clear from the article whether the promotion is limited to new customers or existing ones as well.
It is also worth noting that some areas, like parts of southern California and New York state, may no longer qualify for the promotion. Additionally, newer promotions as of August 2025 involve a 50% off hardware sale (Standard Kit $175) instead of a free $0 kit, but the $0 kit is still specifically available in these 26 states.
The promotion is being tested to see how it goes, and it is not specified in the article what the terms and restrictions are. Customers are advised to carefully read the terms and conditions before signing up for the service.
The promotion is not available nationwide in the U.S., and many urban and high-demand areas remain on a waitlist or require a congestion surcharge to begin service. Furthermore, the promotion does not include any advertisements for Tesla or Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) service.
