Functionality and Features
As a device from 1995, the Ericsson GF 388 was equipped to handle basic GSM 900 band communications, making it primarily functional within European markets where this standard was prevalent. The phone lacks GPRS and EDGE capabilities, which means no data-driven applications or internet browsing—a stark contrast to the connectivity options we find indispensable today.
The phone supports rudimentary SMS text messaging and operates with a phonebook capacity for 100 contacts, a number that seemed generous at the time. There were no integrated games, camera, or multimedia features. Sound functions were limited to monophonic ringtones with no loudspeaker or 3.5mm jack, reflecting the emphasis on voice and text communication.
