Siemens
S6

The Siemens S6 was introduced in 1998 and was marketed as being light and slim. The phone book stored telephone numbers and associated names within the SIM card with a fast dial capability accessed via the right-hand menu soft key. A call register stored details of the last five dialled and missed calls and timers recorded the duration of the last dialled call and the cumulative total. There was also the option of an audible reminder that would bleep every minute during a call. The Siemens S6 was able to both send and receive SMS text messages.
