Starlink Introduces Installments for Kits, Starting At $16 A Month

Zimbabweans can now purchase Starlink Mini Kits on installment over 6 or 9 months. The option was introduced recently making it much easier for people to buy the satellite service for as little as $16.67 per month for the Mini Kit. The kit itself is valued at $200

Here are the 2 credit options available:

• Pay for Starlink Mini Kit over 6 months at $25 a month
• Pay for Starlink Mini Kit over 9 months at $16.67 a month

In both cases, you will need to pay a deposit or down payment of $50.

Since Starlink charges a $23 delivery fee, this means the initial payment to get a Starlink Mini Kit comes down from $223 ($200 for the kit + $23 delivery charge) to just $73 ($50 deposit + $23 delivery charge).

Starlink is not charging interest on the credit facility. This is a significant development and one that will allow many Zimbabweans to access the service.

Once the Kit is now in Zimbabwe, one will need to pay the monthly subscription fee of at least $30 a month in addition to the installment. So if you opt for the 9 months option, that will mean a total monthly payment of $46.67 per month. After the 9 months, the payment comes down to just $30 for the internet service.
