BadMaster:

Try the card you have, it just might work. GTB naira MasterCard stopped working for sometime. However, recently someone suggested to make payment or order using the desktop version of chrome. Surprisingly, I was able to use same GTB naira MasterCard to make payment via Chrome on my PC. So, try that.
I have spent the past 5 hours trying all the various available cards that I can lay my hands on. This looks like sabotage at this point cry

You may be getting something wrong. Chipper and Kuda naira denominated virtual cards also work though.

I am sorry I can't really help in that regard. The thing is, at the point of purchase, I will be asked to create an account for the kit. That's where the problem is.

However, so many solutions have been proffered to you on this thread. Kindly use one of them. To the best of my knowledge, most debit cards work, even Opay physical card works, just make sure you go through the process using a computer and a chrome browser.

Yea, I think this is the issue. I don’t have a starlink account so I can’t sign in. I have contacted both konga and starlink support but was told it could take days or weeks to sort out

Greetings everyone,

This thread has been super helpful, I've read everything from page 1-77 before buying and setting up my starlink successfully in Calabar. The speed here is quite impressive. Averaging between 100mbps and 230mbps.


Abeg make una drop any Nigerian store link apart from amazon weh I fit buy very sharp US router wey get 5ghz wifi with better range than this starlink router. I no wan make the mistake of buying the EU version.

My Samsung and other device de hardly connect to am. And I dey lodge wey plenty people de interested to join for a token but the starlink router range no too strong to go round.


Thank you all for your contributions.

You can try other services like Waka TV or Sapa TV. They are all IPTV's but I still prefer their UI.

Guys please forget this IPTV stuffs. I use WakaTV and it's the best. However, if cost 12k monthly cost it's for South Africa but the Nigerian one is now Available. For 7,800 monthly and you get all DSTV channels and more. With 7 days trail. https://sapatv.net/

Help me check if Africa Magic Showcase, Urban, Yoruba, and Igbo dey work well...

Na my litmus test be that..

Edit: I can actually try it myself. Unto it currently.

Finally at the fast side of life. I paid 525k for this thing on Konga since Nigerian cards decided they won't work.

It can't be fixed.
Months ago starlink sent a message that all those using starlink outside the green countries of Africa where there is starlink will have their service disconnected after 1 or 2 months outside the area.

Nothing you can do in Niger republic

I just joined the starlink geng.
Gone through this thread and I must say it has been helpful
Ordered it on Monday morning from starlink site and I got it today at kwara state,was surprised it came so fast.
Anyways I have set it up and start using it.
The speed is good but I still think wall or roof mounting would be better .

I have an Open box Starlink Ethernet Adapter (Never used before)…. I bought it thinking I will have a spot in my house that won’t have access to Starlink wifi coverage….

I am also selling it with the Starlink Router mount and the Ethernet adapter mount I ordered last year from Amazon….

I do not need the mount again since it didn’t come on time before getting it another one

Everything goes for 65k

If you are in UYO better but if you are in another state you will be responsible for the waybill

I'm back from work and the item is still available in case someone from the thread needs it....
