In 1996 Benefon introduced the Alfa, Beta and Delta [[Nordic Mobile Telephone|NMT-900]] phones to the consumer market. However, by this stage, its former partner Nokia was already bringing to market GSM handsets such as the Nokia 1610. Benefon's first GSM phone was the 1997 Benefon Gamma, and the company continued to release new GSM handsets.

The Benefon ESC!, released in 1999, was introduced and was one of the first cellular devices with a built in GPS.{{cn|date=September 2016}}

The Benefon Forte, operated on the [[Nordic Mobile Telephone|NMT]]-450 standard and remained on the market for eleven years, until 2000. Engineered for tough operating conditions and equipped with a powerful antenna and transmitter, the phone found a niche operating on the edges of networks in industries such as shipping, since higher-frequency [[GSM]] coverage does not extend out to the sea.

Other mobile phone products included the Benefon Class that enabled cordless handset use, and the Benefon Smart, available in different colour options.

In 2000 Benefon released a [[Dual SIM]] phone Benefon Twin and Benefon Twin+. According to the company, it was the first dual-band GSM phone with two SIM-card slots. Benefon licensed the use of Microsoft Mobile Explorer 2.0 in 1999 to support both [[HTML]] and [[Wireless Application Protocol]] (WAP).<ref name=MS>{{cite web|title=Benefon Licenses Microsoft Mobile Explorer To Bring WAP and HTML-Based Services and Content to Mobile Phones|url=http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/1999/Dec99/BenefonPR.mspx|work=Dec. 20 1999|publisher=Microsoft News Center|accessdate=26 February 2012}}</ref>

In response to the [[European Union]]'s MORE-project (Mobile Rescue Phone), Benefon changed its focus to GSM+[[GPS]] mobile telematics equipment. The company launched what it later called "the first mobile phone and a GPS navigator integrated in one product", the Benefon Esc!, in late 1999, followed by the Benefon Track in 2000. The Esc! was splashproof and featured a large, greyscale [[LCD]]. Esc! allowed for users to load maps onto the phone, to trace their position and movement, and to call or send their coordinates via [[SMS]] to a list of set numbers by setting an "Emergency Key". It also featured a "Friend Find" service, whereby users with Esc! handsets could track each other's locations directly on their handset display. In some markets this feature was implemented online.
