It has been said multiple times here. Do not buy from 3rd party vendors in here in Nigeria. Starlink allows it but most sell at crazy prices and were purchased fraudulently. Once you buy then you realize you can't activate them. RUN!!!

I know someone selling starlink at the moment, not fraudulent at all, has just very few units

Imagine these guys 👆 up there selling Starlink kit for #1.45 million. These are the people that made Starlink to implement some restrictions on their services here in Nigeria.

Would you mind sharing these restrictions for some of us preparing to buy?

How did you make payment?
telim:
I ordered starlink last week and the kit is already in lagos. Waiting to receive a call from dhl today or tomorrow.

I just successfully paid for mine now, after trying repeatedly for over 2 weeks. Let me drop some helpful tips and what I tried eventually

1. I think all cards works, whether Naira or Dollar, I tried Zenith Master, Access Visa (Virtual), GT master, etc.. They will all work depending on the timing I think and maybe, Luck. So no need paying in dollar, you'd cheat yourself.

2. I used the map to locate my apartment and also edited the shipping address in addition to the coordinates. So I had the coordinates and also my full address when I was done.

3. They would show that they will only debit 32,000 and eventually debit the rest, but make sure you have at least 400k in the bank account/card you're trying to pay from because they debited everything once from my account but on my order/starlink account, they showed the 32,000 on my account. So have the account fully funded.

4. IMPORTANT: Use your browsers incognito mode while trying to place the order. Only incognito mode

FYI. ordered from Abuja. (Don't think it really matters though)

I hope this helps somebody...

All the best...

And I can't comprehend why some people still want to sell this at over a million, is there something we're missing?

Paid on Saturday and around 400k was debited but only 32k shows in my account. It hasn't shown me order status or the other amount debited. Does it normally take this long for them to ship it and for it to reflect on my account?

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by denip: 8:28pm On Feb 02
I am thinking of getting a starlink at my place of work which is 50km from my house due to the remoteness of my location. When i change location back to my house in three months time, will the starlink still work at the new location or i will have to inform customer care? Please help

Same here. Looks like if it's pre order you might not be getting it soon. I messaged support and they couldn't help me since it's pre order.

I am now considering buying from black market

Re: My SpaceX Starlink Internet Experience In Lagos, Nigeria by Realdeals(m): 9:53am On Feb 04
If you purchase from either Lagos or Abuja, 32k will be deducted and considered as Pre-order. Starlink claim the two town have reached capacity, and will be expanded in the future (not stated).

I ordered since last year, I'm still waiting.

If your location has reached capacity and Starlink has rightly informed you so, why would you go ahead to buy from the Black market? How does that resolve your location challenge?

Do you know what it means by a location reaching Capacity? It means you can't use your address as a service address with Starlink no matter where you get your Starlink from.

This is exhausting. You mean you have been on pre-order since 13th January and mine is since 27th and i am even complaining. If i am buying from a shop, I hope i won't encounter address issues or something?

To the Gurus in the house, what are the demerits of buying from shop instead of order? Also, how do i change my current status from Pre-order to Proper Order so I can get my device fast?

@telim and @directonpc was your order at anytime showing Order status closed or preorder? Was the over 400k debited all at once or it was only 32k that was debited and the the remaining balance after it was shipped. Please help me so I can make up my mind by tomorrow whether to proceed, cancel and request refund, buy from shop or try Dotmac Network here in Abuja.

order status was displaying pending on starlink website even when i recieved a tracking number via sms from dhl the status was still pending.

N394,700 was deducted from my account few minutes after i submitted my card details on the 11th of january 2024 and got the tracking code from dhl via sms on 20th of January 2024 and the package got delivered to me on the 23rd of January 2024.

32K was debited from my account 2 days after i installed starlink.

There is nothing like starlink in Nigeria. It is very stable with good speed, much better than the useless expensive 5g we have in Nigeria.
