That’s great news for your family! Starlink sure is changing things for a lot of people. Hope it stays affordable and functioning good.

Most sat phones and gps systems, also home security systems, cctv, etc used to used 3G cards to transmit and receive. As of the first of the year all MOd/UMtS equipment (which is 3g) was shut down except in areas with high hacidic Jews as they only use 3g phones or are supposed to not have access to the internet.

All but 16 Verizon sites have been turned down, and they are in New York. So basically any and all systems that used 3g now have to be switched over to 4g. This caused a lot of people to redo their security systems over the past few months.

These have gotten pretty popular in the fishing fleet, since they are cheaper than the Garmin/Delorme inreach, both to purchase, and the monthly fee is usually at least $15 per month lower. Everyone I know that has used both, report the Zoleo works consistently better, both acquiring a signal more reliably, and also not having the problem of messages getting temporarily "stuck" in cyberspace.
