The satellite technology has become a vital communications lifeline for some of those in the country trying to tell the outside world what has been happening on the ground in recent days.
Two people in Iran told BBC Persian their device was running on Tuesday night even though they had not been keeping up with subscription payments. The director of an organization that helps Iranians get online also told BBC Persian that Starlink had been made free.
The satellite technology, which belongs to Elon Musk's SpaceX company, provides internet to tens of thousands of people in Iran, despite the fact it is illegal there. Since the internet was shut down, it has become one of the last, if not the last, remaining channels for Iranians to communicate with the outside world.
Using the service in Iran carries a punishment of up to two years in prison and authorities have reportedly been searching for Starlink dishes to stop people from connecting to the internet.
They're going onto rooftops and checking the surrounding buildings, says Parsa - not his real name - who spoke to BBC Persian using a Starlink connection.
However, many are risking it for the sake of sharing crucial information, with reports indicating that over 50,000 people could be using Starlink to bypass censorship.
The Iranian government has expressed that the internet shutdown was a measure taken against terrorist operations influenced by external forces. In contrast, human rights organizations condemned the blanket internet blackout as abusive, expressing it severely hampers the documentation of rights violations amidst escalating violence.
Despite the dangers, Starlink has become indispensable for many Iranians in conveying what is happening inside their borders, as they navigate significant risks to inform both the local population and the international community.
