With the launch of their first portable cellular phone in 1988, Audiovox Mobile Phones became an innovative cell phone company. In 2005, UT Starcom began integrating Audiovox's technology into its own line of cellular phone products after buying the company's phone division.
Only cell phone service provider Virgin Mobile currently sells new mobile phone products under the Audiovox name. Actually, this product line is most commonly known as Vox.
Many people, however, would rather continue to use their tried and true older Audiovox cell phones and avoid upgrading. For these people, here are some tips to ease their search for product support and accessories for older models.
Original product features for older Audiovox cellular phone models have included:

Virgin Mobile's VOX is actually a new Audiovox cell phone product made by UT Starcom.
I recommend: Virgin Mobile offers three new Audiovox cellular phone models: the
VOX 8500, the
VOX 8610, and the
VOX Snapper. Their VOX mobile phones are pay-as-you-go or prepaid plans with a wide coverage area, and they can be bought at
Amazon. You can also purchase Audiovox cell
phone accessories for your VOX at Amazon, but beware that these accessories may not always be in stock or available here.
Find accessories for your older model Audiovox cell phone
If you would prefer to keep your original Audiovox cell phone product, tracking down accessories can be a challenge.
I recommend: While you can no longer buy Audiovox cell phone accessories at the Audiovox company website, you can buy a few Audiovox-compatible accessories such as a Travel Charger and Vehicle Power Charger at the
UT Starcom website. You can find even more Audiovox mobile phone compatible accessories at a variety of online retail outlets by doing a search at
Bizrate, a product comparison website operated by Shopzilla.

Product support information for original Audiovox cell phone models can be found at mobile phone service provider websites and the company website.
I recommend: Former service providers
Verizon and
Sprint offer a list of older Audiovox mobile phone products where product support information is available. For more specific product support issues, contact
Verizon customer support. On the Audiovox company website, they offer customer support contact information for older Audiovox phone products available at
UT Starcom.
Find out where to buy pre-owned Audiovox mobile phones
Would you like a replacement of an Audiovox mobile phone? Pre-owned refurbished models are still available.
I recommend: Do a product search for "Audiovox cellular phones" at
Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo's product comparison website. This site offers a list of online retail stores that sell older model Audiovox cell phones. For example, the
Dot Cells.com Mobile Phones store sells used models of the Audiovox 8900 cell phone for Verizon.
