Technology

• Starcom cell phones work on CDMA technology. This means they tend to have better cell service than GSM phones in some areas. If they are capable, they are also better able to use non-voice functions such as internet or texting.
  
  

Starcom and Other Companies

• Starcom usually commissions other companies to make their cell phones for them. For example, the Blitz and the Arc were both created by Pantech.
  
  

Starcom Now

• Starcom was not originally a cell phone sales company. They were primarily a networking company specializing in voice over IP technology and DSL modems. They sold their personal communications technologies in July of 2008, and thus are no longer making cell phones.
