Software
The phone should display something similar to this:

PRG - firmware revision

Service provider lock
The service provider (SP) lock menu is used to lock the cell
phone to the SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked
to a specific operator, if one inserts a SIM card from a different
operator the phone will refuse to accept it! The cell phone
will however accept another SIM card from the same operator.
To activate/deactivate this lock one needs a special secret
code that is not available to the end user.
Here is how to activate the menu:
<**< Lock to Network ?
If pressing YES you have 5 attempts to enter NCK.
<**<< Lock to Network subset ?
If pressing YES you have 5 attempts to enter NSCK.
Warning: Your phone can be locked to a service provider FOREVER
by doing this! If an invalid code is entered all five times,
the menu will exit and be deactivated ! Any further attempt
to activate the NCK/NSCK lock Menu will result in the response
"Not allowed" ! However the NCK/NSCK lock can be
recover through a direct clearing in the EEPROM.
Tips and info
Shortcut for Last Dialed call menu...
If you for some reason don't want to enter the 'Last Dialed
calls menu' by using the 'YES' key you can use the following
key stroke instead: First '0' then '#'.
Bat. level indicator when turned OFF...
When the gh688 is turned off and the phone is not changing
- the bat. level can be seen for a short period of time by
pressing the 'NO' key quick once (it has to be quick!) and
then wait for about 2 sec. The bat. level will now be shown
in the display
at its normal position.
Access menu without SIM card
To access to the menu in your phone without having a card
inside do the following:
type **04*0000*0000*0000# When display say "Wrong Pin"
press NO and you have access to the all menus: Info, Access,
Settings, Calculator, Clock, Keylock On?, Mail, Phone book.
NOTE if you try this on the GH688 your phone may stop at Keylock
On? menu and you´ll have to take your battery out to turn
the phone on again.
Alarm Clock Menu
a)
Go to MissedCall
Empty the list
Press the -> key for a second or two
The option Menu size turns up
Choose 'yes' and go from there.
b)
V meniju Read (SMS - sporocila), pobrišeš vsa sporocila, da
napiše No Messages, potem pa pritisneš levo tipko za premikanje
po meniju in jo držiš, da napiše Menu size nato izbereš YES.
An alarm clock turned up too but it never rang. I think this
was because there is no clock in the phone.
Free phone calls using the GA628
NB! This trick has only been reported working on PREPAID GSM
CARDS......
so if you haven't got one of these it's probably not working....
The prepaid GSM SIM CARD is a kind of "SIM card"
which only has a sertant
amount of credit on it (like a normal phonebox telecard)...
if it can be traced?
Well..here's the trick you dial the no. normally and press
YES. While "connecting"
is shown on the screen, the following procedure should be
carried out:
Press CLR then 0 then # and then NO (twice) so as to switch
OFF the phone.
You can then still speak on the phone while it is switched
off but the SIM card does not record your calls which will
lead to FREE phone calls in some countries.. we hope!!
Another variant of the code ..
Make a Call, while the phone says Connecting type 083# (the
position 83 must be empty! ), when phone says Pos Emtpy, press
the NO key and turn off the phone.
If you can make the call with the phone turned off you will
face a problem when
you need to hang up the phone...the only way for you to do
that is remove the
battery...???

LASTEST Version is: <980114>
Fixes: ???
Fixes in Software version<971009>
After receiving an SMS the prompt >>Message read?<<
stayed on the screen until you pressed YES or NO. This new
software eliminated this "feature" and when you
receive an SMS >>Message read?<< stays on the
screen only for a few seconds then it changes into an envelope.
Fixes in Software version <970905> (and Ericsson 788
- software version 970716)
The error is described as "MS unable to find HPLMN if
30 or more competitor ARFCN+s have greater signal strength
than the HPLMN."
In other words: if there are 30 or more channels belonging
to other carriers which are stronger than the customer's home
network, the phone will not be able to find the customer's
home network.
Fixes in Software version <970715>
The bug of the missing arrow on display when all diverting
active. - Key lock key on display turned around , like in
manual. (???) - An updated GSM operators' list. - Better and
more solid reception. - Changing problem when turned OFF.
Software update, how? I have been asked a lot about how to
update the software in cellular phones. The easiest thing
to do is to go to the nearest Ericsson dealer and make him
do it for you. Just remember that it is supposed to be free
(a receipt is requiet) so don't let him tell you anything
else!

Pin Outs
Data Cable schematics here.
1 = + external power supply
2 = RS232 input (TTL)
3 = GND (digital)
4 = RS232 output (TTL)
5 = +5V output
6 = Test
7 = Mute
8 = Internal/external
9 = GND (analogic)
10 = ?
11 = BF in
12 = BF out
Short description
1: it is for best external power supply, to charge the phone
battery. The external power supply alone without the phone
battery DOES NOT switch on! Suggested voltage 7.2V with 600mA
at least.
2: The RS232 serial line input at TTL (0/5V) level. When
the phone is on, this pin is at "0" (?!?!?), against
any logic. Connect your interface RS232/TTL even if its output
is 1!!!
3: GND digital....no comment!
4: It is the RS232 serial out put at level TTL (0/5V). When
the phone is switched on this pin is at 1 (this seems logical!).
5: +5V output with phone on. Usable provided that few mA
are absorbed.
6: Mode test. As a general rule is at 0. To switch in test
mode, switch the cellular off, set the pin at 1 (+5V), switch
the phone on.In this mode the serial line works at 115200
instead of the standard 9600.
7: Mute. Normally at 0, it goes at 1 while scrolling or during
a conversation. Useful to mute the possible ear breaking radio!
8: if open, the internal microphone and loudspeaker are on.
If at 0, the external ones are enabled.
9: GND analogic (no comment).
10: The function of this pin is a mystery. It seems like
a microphone and loudspeaker attenuates when at 0.
11: BF in (no comment...)
12: BF out (no comment...) Now the second problem: how to
communicate with the cellular?!?!? Presently I discovered
that it travels at 9600 n 8 1. In fact it answers at the command
AIES "at" but nothing more. Then I tried with the
controls described in the PCMCIA DC23 manual for the GH388.
It answers to some commands, for example at+cbc, but nothing
more.
