Motorola StarTAC Rainbow Network and Connectivity

Network and Connectivity

Operating on GSM 900 networks, the StarTAC Rainbow provided the essential communication service — making and receiving calls — with no further data services like GPRS or EDGE, which were either unavailable or nascent technologies at the time. With no support for WLAN, Bluetooth, or USB connectivity, the Rainbow was designed purely for voice calls and SMS text messaging, fitting perfectly with the simplistic phone culture of the 1990s.
