First mobile phone I had was back in early 90s, it was one of those units built into the car- best reception of any phone I've ever had- you could be up the side of a mountain in the arse-end of Donegal* & it always had a few bars LOL ( I know nothing about the tech stuff but always surmised the car acted as a huge aerial)
Dave, not to be pedantic & perhaps I'm mixing up the chronology but I didn't think there was a cellular network in IRL til the 90s ? ( Perhaps you were living somewhere else, but the unit you mention looks a bit like a walkie- talkie)

* A truly beautiful spot before you sheep shaggers give me a hard time!!

Just Wikipediaed it to check and it was Eircell who started operating in Ireland in 1986 as the Mobile and Broadcast division of Telecom Éireann.
It was certainly like a walkie it had a flip down mic and the 088 network was Analogue. It was the 90s that the GSM network arrived.

You are correct, I had a mobile (if you could call them that) in 1989. Some sort of Nec brick, don't know the model. The network at that stage was 088 and analogue which meant anyone with a decent CB scanner could listen in on all conversations, including the Gardai calling each other about cases

I used one of the bricks with huge battery for work as the first mobile phone, my first personal one was a sony marsbar 088 phone. I then upgraded to a nokia 6110 which was the best phone available at the time, got it second hand in UK, cost 400 punts at the time but it worked overseas.
