Motorola International 3200. (Volker Artmann)

In the 1990s, cellular technology accelerated, driven by the shift from analogue to digital cellular networks and the deployment of GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) standards in Europe and CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) in the United States, which would lead to SMS (Short Message Service), among other things.

The first digital cell phone was  the International 3200 that  Motorola launched in 1992, still without the ability to receive and send SMS that would arrive with the next International model, the 3300.
