Thinking of getting starlink but just want to check a few things any users may be able to help me with 1: can you make and receive phone calls with it? ie my satellite phone will not be necessary? 2: will it support Kayo (I am a sports viewing addict) 3: will it work in full cloud. Thanks in advance
