Starlink Referral Code 2026 — 1 Free Month

How the Starlink referral works

Starlink solves a specific problem: internet access in locations where fixed-line options are slow, unreliable, or simply unavailable. It is a satellite broadband service operated by SpaceX, delivering internet via a low-earth-orbit constellation rather than cables in the ground. If you are in a rural area, a property with poor Openreach coverage, or you need a resilient backup connection, Starlink is often the most practical option available. The referral offer gives new eligible customers one free month of service — a straightforward way to reduce the cost of getting started.

1. Click the referral link on this page. This takes you into the tracked signup path. Starting from the Starlink homepage directly or via a third party will not attach the referral.
2. Check availability at your address. Starlink has good coverage across most of the UK, including rural areas. Confirm your postcode is in a served area during the order process.
3. Choose an eligible service plan. Referral rewards are only issued on Residential plans (including Residential Lite, 100Mbps, 200Mbps and Max) and Roam plans (100GB, 300GB and Unlimited). Starlink's Business plans do not qualify for the referral reward, so pick a Residential or Roam plan if the free month matters to you.
4. Order your hardware kit. Starlink requires a dish (called the Starlink Kit) which you purchase upfront. Pricing can change — check the current hardware cost when you order.
5. Activate your service. Starlink applies the free month to your second month of service — you pay for month one as normal, and month two is covered.

There is no typed code to enter — the referral is handled entirely through the link. Click through and complete the order in one session for the cleanest tracking.

Who is Starlink best suited for?

Starlink is not the right answer for everyone, and a good referral page should say so clearly. Here is an honest breakdown of who it makes most sense for:

• Rural homeowners and farmers — areas where Openreach FTTC or FTTP is unavailable or delivering sub-10Mb speeds are the core Starlink use case. Many rural UK properties get 100–200Mb+ download via Starlink where they previously had single-digit speeds.
• Business backup connections — companies that cannot afford a single point of failure on their internet connection often add Starlink as a failover for their primary leased line or fibre. The hardware cost amortises quickly against downtime risk. Worth knowing: the referral free month is only issued on Residential and Roam plans, so a Starlink Business plan will not earn it.
• Remote workers in poorly served areas — for anyone whose job depends on a reliable video call connection, Starlink can transform a location that was previously borderline for home working.
• Temporary or mobile setups — Starlink's Roam plan allows use across the UK and Europe, making it a strong option for narrowboats, motorhomes, and temporary site offices.

If you are in a city or suburban area with full-fibre broadband available from YouFibre, Hyperoptic, or Openreach-based providers, fixed-line fibre will usually be faster, cheaper, and more consistent than Starlink. Satellite broadband has improved dramatically but it cannot yet match the latency of a direct fibre connection for competitive gaming or highly latency-sensitive tasks.

Which Starlink plans and dishes qualify — Roam, Mini and Residential

This trips people up, so it is worth being precise: the referral reward is tied to the service plan you subscribe to, not to which dish you buy. Choose an eligible plan and the hardware does not matter; choose an ineligible one and no dish will rescue it.

• Residential plans qualify — Residential Lite, Residential, Residential 100Mbps, Residential 200Mbps and Residential Max are all on Starlink's eligible list.
• Roam plans qualify too — Roam 100GB, Roam 300GB and Roam Unlimited. This is the one most guides miss. If you are buying Starlink for a motorhome, narrowboat, van or a temporary site, you are still in scope for the free month.
• Business plans do not qualify. If you are ordering for a company and the free month matters, price up a Residential or Roam plan instead.

What about Starlink Mini? Mini is hardware rather than a plan. A Mini ordered on an eligible Roam or Residential plan is covered by the same rules above — check which plans your Mini order actually offers at checkout, since the plan is what decides the reward.

One more practical note for Roam buyers: Roam is the plan that lets you use the service away from your registered address across the UK and Europe, so it suits people who move the dish around. It costs differently from Residential and has its own data terms, but as far as this referral goes it is treated the same.

What does Starlink actually cost in the UK?

There are two main costs: hardware and monthly subscription. The Starlink Kit (dish and router) is a one-off purchase — pricing is set by SpaceX and can change, so always check the live figure on Starlink's site when you order. The monthly subscription for the standard Residential plan is typically in the range of £40–75/month depending on your chosen plan and any promotional pricing active at the time.

The referral free month reduces your effective first-year cost, which is the most practical way to think about the value. Over a 12-month commitment, saving one month's subscription is straightforward — and for a service running at £50–60/month, that is a meaningful saving on what is already a premium product.

• New eligible Starlink customers using the referral link before purchase.
• You must sign up as a new customer on starlink.com — kits bought from resellers or retailers, and account transfers, are not eligible.
• Residential and Roam plans only; Business plans do not earn the referral reward.
• Referrer and new customer must be in the same country.
• Hardware purchase required separately — the free month applies to the subscription, not the kit.
• Service availability and hardware costs may vary by location and plan type.
