The Ericsson GA628 was introduced in 1996 and was a basic featured phone. An address book could store up to 99 telephone numbers with associated names in memory with additional storage capacity within the SIM card. The first 9 entries in the address book could be accessed using keypad speed dialling and a record is kept of the most recent 5 calls made. The GA628 could send and receive SMS text messages and provided a range of call timers. Personalisation took the form of choosing from a range of pre-load ringer tones and by changing the front cover plate around the keypad; new covers were available in red, blue, green and yellow.
The GA628 could also be fitted with an Ericsson Chatboard which provided a QWERTY push button keypad. Depending on the mobile to which it was attached, the Chatboard gave direct access through this keyboard to SMS, email, www, and phonebook functions.
