Phases 1 and 2 were defined before 3G networks existed, and as such support adding IN services to a GSM network, although they are equally applicable to 2.5G and 3G networks. Phase 3 was defined for 3GPP Releases 99 and 4, and hence is a GSM and UMTS common specification, while Phase 4 was defined as part of 3GPP Release 5.
When talking about IS-95/GSM multi-mode phones, for example, or AMPS/IS-95 phones, the base band processing is very different from system to system. This leads to real difficulties in component integration and so to larger phones. An interesting special case of multi-mode phones is the WCDMA/GSM phone.
One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module, commonly known as a SIM card. The SIM is a detachable smart card [3] containing a user's subscription information and phone book. This allows users to retain their information after switching handsets.
As of 2019, all available mobile phones have a proprietary baseband chip (GSM module, cellular modem), [2] [3] [4] except for the Necuno, which has no such chip and communicates by peer-to-peer VOIP. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The modem is usually integrated with the system-on-a-chip and the memory. [ 4 ]
GSM is a standard for digital cellular communications, which means that it provides a platform for mobile devices to communicate with each other wirelessly. The GSM module is a specialized device that enables a device to send and receive data over the GSM network. The GSM network is an essential component of modern communication systems. It is ...
The GSM standards are defined by the 3GPP collaboration and implemented in hardware and software by equipment manufacturers and mobile phone operators. The common standard makes it possible to use the same phones with different companies' services, or even roam into different countries. GSM is the world's predominant mobile phone standard.

An A3/A8 algorithm is implemented in Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards and in GSM network Authentication Centers. It is used to authenticate the customer and generate a key for encrypting voice and data traffic, as defined in 3GPP TS 43.020 (03.20 before Rel-4).
