Not the person you're replying to, but I have a mini in the Jeep (shoots right through the fiberglass roof!) and it's a godsend on long drives through rural areas where cell service is spotty at best, often nonexistent for 20-30 minutes at a time.

At least for me, with my job and lifestyle, it means I can be on the road at times I would previously have been stuck at home/work waiting on that one last call.

Rural areas make sense. Golden Gate Park is inside of San Francisco sandwiched between two residential neighborhoods. I’ve never lost mobile reception inside the park. I guess if you have starlink service already it makes sense to use it vs tethering.
