    Default What was your first mobile phone ?

    Just thinking how vital a piece of equipment the mobile phone has become.

    Got me thinking back to my first one.
    It was a Sony Ericsson Kit Kat I think the network was 088 at the time.
    It was pretty small for the time, late 80s.

    the first cell phone I ever used was more than twenty years ago in florida.. I was parting at some heavies and they had a phone that came in a brief case.. they had it hooked up to a car battery and we could call anywhere in the world free... problem was no one could call us back.... untraceable and free

    Certainly remember those ones, but I never bothered getting one until they became small enough to fit in yer pocket.

    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!!
