I have the flagpole buddy as well and its a piece of cake, everything done from the ground. Not sure if they have a mount to the Gen 3 though.
Ours works for calling and texting, but we are on Apple not Android, so not sure what settings you would need to turn on. You should be able to mimic this at home by putting your phone in airplane mode and turning on your wi-fi and trying to text. That should be the same thing as using Starlink in a area with no cell service. We were a week in Fishing Bridge last year with no service and our devices behaved perfectly.
Scott'n'Wendy I used shielded, just to maintain the shield throughout. I also used shielded cat-5e. I suspect they are just using it as a drain and to keep RF from other nearby signals from causing interference. That said its not gigabit or even 10 gig, so I cannot believe there would be an issue if you dropped the shield.
