Network and Connectivity
In terms of network capabilities, the Bird S288 operates on GSM 900/1800 frequencies. As was typical for phones from this period, it does not support GPRS or EDGE, limiting its capability to basic voice calls and SMS. Other contemporary wireless technologies, like Bluetooth and WLAN, are not present. Additionally, the phone does not feature any form of positioning services or a radio, which further solidifies its focus on simplicity and essential use.
