Following on from the success of the Motorola micro-TAC analogue mobile phone, the Micro-TAC 5200 was released in 1994 and represented Motorola’s move to GSM. It was however, a basic featured phone that in addition to the standard set of phone functions offered an address book that could store up to 100 telephone numbers and associated names within the phone's memory. The Micro-TAC 5200 also provided a range of call timers and could both send and receive SMS text messages.
