Get Internet with No Cell Service??
We plan an extended RV trip to Big Bend park in south Texas and beyond. There is spotty cell coverage there at best. What's best most reasonable solution to get satellite internet? No need for voice...

Where are you coming up with them allowing you to move around with it? Everything I have read says it is for a single address location only. When I check my service address, it says my area is already at maximum capacity and to expect delivery in 2023. I looked all over their website and could not find roaming was OK. I also read that they plan to have a mobile version, but it was a few years out.
They enabled roaming in Feb, and added the following to the Terms of Service on their website:
It's mostly referred to as roaming, because in the debug data, if you are out of your native cell, it sets the roaming flag to yes.
Portability seems to be nationwide (continental USA), because on the FB group I mentioned, people have reported it working all over the country, with very few exceptions. I have a CO service address and have been using my service in AZ, CA, NV, and UT without issue. We're currently camping with another couple, using our old round dish, who also have a CO service address and are seeing similar results.
There is also a very good chance that if you place an order with a different service address, you can move service to your exact address. We’ve found that just because you can’t place an order somewhere, doesn’t mean you can’t set your service address there as an existing customer.
Anyone who shells out that much coin for something that comes with those terms is a financial fool IMO. It essentially says we can shut you off at any time for any reason or our stuff may just not work and in that case too bad. But hey its your money. I tried to subscribe for the farm, says I might receive hardware and service in 2023 or later if I send a $100. Screw that.
