Network and Connectivity
The Motorola M3188 relied on GSM technology, supporting 2G networks specifically over GSM 900 and 1800 bands. This was sufficient at the time for voice calls and basic SMS messaging. The absence of GPRS, EDGE, WLAN, and Bluetooth means it offered no support for mobile internet or data services, reflecting the period's focus on mobile voice communication rather than data-centric services. Its use of a Mini-SIM card was standard for its era but would be considered outdated in today's nano-SIM world.
