What is the name of the communication devise on Star Trek?
There are many communication devices in Star Trek, the most commonly known being the communicator, at first a cell-phone-like device in TOS, and incorporated (placed) into the insignia badges of Starfleet crew, now called combadges. Other devices such as tricorders can emulate a communicator, doing the same function (though often the range of the emulating device is limited compared to the communicator or combadge).

What technology from Star Trek is used today?
Nothing, but there are some things that resemble things in Star Trek. The thing that is important to remember is Star Trek is fiction and the technologies we use are fact. One thing that many people claim was inspired by Star Trek is the cell phone. But that is totally wrong as Bell Labs came up with the idea back in 1947, nineteen years before Star Trek appeared on TV in 1966! But Bell Labs put the project on hold after a few years of work as the vacuum tube technology of the time could not support the requirements of such a system. When the first handheld cell phone was built by Motorola in 1971 it bore no resemblance to anything in Star Trek as it was about the size and weight of a brick and could only run about 1 hour on a battery charge.
Would the cell phone or the person be the source in communication technology?
since youre asking about the technology of it its the cell. the person is the communicator
How is a cell like Star Trek?
There are not many noteworthy similarities between the two.
If Star Trek isn't real then how do you explain the technology that is out now that is like that in Star Trek?
Because someone built it, they may have used a variety of sources for inspiration, but it was made out of need. Quite a lot of it military.In the James Bond movie Thunderball, Bond was issued an underwater camera which did not exist at the time. Soon after it was invented, and underwater photography became all the rage. The Star Trek communicator has become the cell phone, and travel to other stars may someday be possible through a controlled reaction of matter and antimatter, but the "beaming up and down" is more difficult. It was created as a faster method of moving the plot than having the characters travel in shuttle craft.
What impact does star trek have on communication today?
Star Trek inspired engineers to build cell phones that were portable. It also inspired the idea of a computer note book like the iPad.
