Could this be used for LTE roaming? My parents live out in the middle of nowhere - no cell tower reception, but Starlink works so they have internet. I'd love to get them local LTE coverage for cell phone calls and text messages.

No wifi calling support? I had thought that was nearly universal?

Also, IIRC, LTE is mutually authenticated and your parents would not be able to attach to a private LTE network unless they have a SIM that's setup for it.

Wifi calling unfortunately has its quirks even if it could be used

I used to live on the US-Canadian border where the ATT signal consistently was outcompeted by Rogers and Bell, leading to my phone essentially never working. This was ~10 years ago and ATT provided us some hardware that provided a 3G connection locally when connected to our DSL connection.

LTE extender hardware from your carrier?
