About DSTCom
In April 1995, DST Communications Sdn Bhd (DSTCom) was formed to provide services for AMPS-type analogue mobile telephones. By April 1996 the GSM system was introduced - the system preferred by more than 100 countries. Shortly afterwards, the company began providing customers with international roaming facilities, initially to Singapore and Malaysia, then to the United Kingdom, Thailand, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Australia and the Philippines. Today, DSTCom’s roaming partner countries also include Abu Dhabi, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Iceland, India, Ireland, Hungary, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Peru, Russia, Romania, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Portugal and The United States of America.

In July 1999, DSTCom launched a unique prepaid mobile phone service to complement the existing GSM service. The prepaid service provides customers with greater choice to suit their lifestyles and communication habits.
