You need new phones for that. The technology Starlink is using to connect with regular cellphones require a 25 square meter antenna on the satellite. Tiny satellites needs boosted signal from phones that requires special hardware on the phone.

I am pretty sure all cars have that characteristic.

@keyoke69 you don't actually know that. The entire front could be design to fold on impact. They just need to put scouring lines to control how the thing would fold.

@keyoke69 Yes the truck does not resemble anything conventional. So you should not expect conventional structures.

There is no starlink cellphone. Starlinks licensed Ka and Ku band which is not really suitable for cellphone service. Any kind of of roof and even tree leaves are enough to block Ka and Ku signal. This is why Starlink has to partner with T mobile it is because T mobile owns a license of suitable spectrum.

Sooner or later Governments will mandate common access for emergency. T mobile and Starlink is even asking reciprocal roaming with other networks to really sell the emergency use angle. Starlink wants to monetize their satellites and T mobile also wants higher monetization potential of their spectrum. So both of them wants a giant network for this service the bigger the better.

@alanmay7929 Spacex already bought Swarm.

@alanmay7929 No but they will use the tech and scale it up to very large satellites.

@alanmay7929 Lower orbit means less coverage. This is how orbital mechanics work. This is why Starlink need thousands of satellite to get full coverage because they choose a lower self cleaning orbit. The only reason Swarm could get coverage with their tech is because they are using asynchronous link which means messages are not transmitted in real time. messages are stored and only forwarded when there is a satellite overhead. This is exactly the tech they are using for their T mobile cellphone to satellite communication.
