kingdragonfly: Unrelated to Starlink

I'm surprised Vodafone Sure Signal is still a thing. It was recently ended in the UK

@kingdragonfly about to end in NZ as well

Yes, but WIFI calling has been available in the UK for years. Honestly I think the Suresignal is actually a better solution as it works for anybody on Vodafone that visits as they don't need to be connected to your wifi.

@Linux Do you know when? Lots of rumours and unofficial info, but no firm dates I can find.

Even if I did know the launch date I would not say anything as it needs to come from official comms VodafoneNZ

UPDATE: Suresignal now works on Starlink!

Thanks to some amazing help from Geekzone members / VFNZ staff, Starlink has been whitelisted and my Suresignal works like a charm through Dishy.

Thought I’d just share that I’m in the Coromandel and literally just received a ‘Your Starlink Kit is Ready’ email!

Add another to the list, Rural Te Puke. Good to see some activity in the North Island at last.

I’ve confirmed my order as well. Yay! Just south of Kaitaia so we can safely assume the North Island is now covered.

To those that had their order converted today - what kit are you getting? I've seen pictures of both a black and grey version of the dish, mine says black.

Have done some address checks and Taupo is taking full orders already, Hamilton northwards is not. So it must just be a limited release - I mustn't have got in with my preorder early enough.

Here in North Canterbury have definitely noticed that they appear to be limiting numbers within a cell - people who ordered early got their dishes, and there are some cells where can still order for delivery now, but quite a few cells with numerous installs that now appear full and get "Starlink is targeting coverage in your area in mid to late 2021".

I suspect this will also be happening in the NI and if enough preorders in a particular cell they may already exceed the capacity of that cell.
