Short answer: Starlink Roam has three US plans: Roam 100GB, Roam 300GB and Roam Unlimited, listed on starlink.com at $55, $80 and $175 a month as of October 16, 2026. The two capped plans give you a set amount of high-speed data and then unlimited low-speed data, and they only work in your home region (the US, Canada and US territories count as one). Roam Unlimited is the only Roam plan that works outside your home region, for up to 30 days at a time. Prices can change, so confirm the current figure in your Starlink account before you order.

How much data do you actually need?
Starlink describes Roam 100GB as “approximately 1 week of typical use,” aimed at occasional trips and getaways, and pitches Roam 300GB at people who take several trips a month. Your own number depends on what you do online. Video is what uses data fastest, so check the per-hour estimate your streaming service publishes, multiply by the hours you expect to watch, then add a margin for calls, updates and browsing.
The easiest real-world guide is your own history. If you already have Starlink, the app and your account show how much data you used last month. Starlink gives the same advice when choosing data for its Priority plans: start from recent usage.
What happens when you hit the cap
On Roam 100GB and Roam 300GB you aren’t cut off. Starlink says you get “unlimited low-speed data” after your allowance. It doesn’t publish a speed for that low-speed tier on its plan pages, so expect it to be fine for messages and light browsing rather than video, and plan on Roam Unlimited if you regularly run out.
Traveling abroad under the 2026 rules
Starlink changed its international rules this summer. They apply to new customers who signed up on or after July 14, 2026, and existing customers moved to them on August 17, 2026.
- Home region: your home country is where your account is registered. For Roam, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands are one region, so driving between them isn’t international travel.
- Roam 100GB and 300GB: home region only. To use one abroad, upgrade to Roam Unlimited from your account first.
- Roam Unlimited: up to 30 days outside your home country at a time. After that you can return home (which resets the 30 days), move to a Priority plan, or localize your account if you’ve moved.
- Longer trips: Local Priority allows up to 60 days of total international use, counting days already used on Roam Unlimited. Global Priority has no time limit. Priority plans charge a monthly access fee plus data blocks.
- Registration: Starlink requires Travel Registration, including a passport or other government-issued photo ID, before you use service outside your home country.
Starlink also notes that some countries may limit visits to shorter periods, and that using Roam in countries marked “Coming Soon” or “Waitlist” can lead to immediate restrictions. Check Starlink’s availability map for your destination before you go.
Roam vs Residential
Residential is for one fixed address and has unlimited data, while Roam lets you use the dish anywhere in your home region. Starlink supports in-motion use on Roam plans in select areas, and you can use any Roam plan in coastal and inland waters. If you already have Residential and want a dish for trips, see our guide to adding a Mini to a Residential plan before you buy a separate Roam setup.
Which dish for Roam?
Starlink Mini is the small, backpack-size kit with the router built in, and it’s the natural fit for road trips and campsites. Check the current kit price at checkout. See our Starlink Mini kit guide, and for power on the road, our guides to the Mini car adapter, portable power and 12V DC power.
Starlink Standard is larger and needs its separate router and power supply, so it suits RVs and longer stays where it can stay set up. See our Standard kit guide.
Both kits are sold directly in the Starlink store.
Pausing between trips
Roam is billed month to month, and you can pause with Standby Mode, which keeps emergency messaging and easy reactivation for what Starlink calls a small monthly fee. Our Standby Mode guide covers how it works, and our cancellation guide covers stopping service entirely.
FAQ
What’s included in Starlink Roam?
Service you can use anywhere in your home region, in-motion use in select areas, use in coastal and inland waters, Standby Mode and a 30-day trial. Data depends on the tier: 100GB, 300GB or unlimited high-speed data.
How long will 100GB last?
Starlink’s own estimate is about a week of typical use. Heavy streaming will use it faster; light browsing and messaging will stretch it further.
Can I use Roam 100GB in Mexico or Europe?
Not on that plan. Under the 2026 rules only Roam Unlimited works outside your home region, for up to 30 days at a time, and you need to complete Travel Registration first.
Is there a $40 Starlink plan?
Not on Roam: Starlink’s US pricing lists Roam starting at Roam 100GB.
