Like T-Mobile, Canadian carrier Rogers plans to offer the cellular Starlink service as a free beta before officially launching it later this year for CAD$15 per month.

The cellular Starlink technology uses orbiting satellites to beam data to phones located in cellular dead zones, keeping consumers connected even when no cell tower is nearby. For now, the service is restricted to SMS text messaging, but SpaceX plans on rolling out support for voice and video calls, along with data, over time.
available to anyone on any carrier; limited to a small set of phones; uses an eSIM; right now, sms text only, data, voice to follow later. doesn’t quite reach to the NWT/Yukon/Nanvut but will once the ncessary satellites are in orbit (when?)
i tried using my Google Pixel 9 (which I know supports eSIMs, and when I entered its EID, it was accepted. but not going any frther for now.
