Starcomms is one of the Truly Nigerian Companies. Commercially launched in 1999, Starcomms has invested heavily over the years to improve the quality of its products. Its deployment of the world class CDMA technology in 2002 has exponentially taken the company to its current position of over 200,000 customers in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Port-Harcourt - a subscriber base that has increased over 30 times since operations commenced.

In 2002 Starcomms introduced a ground breaking marketing strategy aimed at permanently changing the fixed/wireless industry for the better. The strategy focused on the need to improve customer service quality and network performance and also introduced our award winning advertising campaign featuring the talking drum to the Nigerian public. It is the first in a series of company-wide initiatives that promise to significantly improve the total experience for new and existing Starcomms customers nationwide.

In December 2003, Starcomms expanded its network to cover the historic states of Kano and Borno . Asserting its position as the leading PTO, the company was first to deploy Intelligent Network technology in Nigeria.
