After 28 months I still can not get my second Starlink dish and account activated. You can't find an address, phone number or email to contact the company. They do offer a chat function to a helpdesk (which is not the Starlink/SpaceX company) but of course these people can't do anything for you, certainly not activate your account!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the worst. My other account was working for two months but then Starlink changed the payment form GUI and suddenly they no longer accepted my European bank accounts or Apple Pay or iDeal payment systems anymore, only credit card numbers. European people rarely have credit cards and certainly can't suddenly aquire one while roaming. And of course it would only work if you had a working roaming internet... wait a minute....

When I eventually had opened a new bank account with a credit card at great cost and expense, Starlink of course did not accept it. No recourse, no contact, no payments, nada.

Anyone want to buy two revision 3 Starlink dishes, as-is, where-is, never been used? [1].
