What was the First Mobile Phone?

You might think that mobile phones are a very new technology, but they actually go back to 1908 when a US Patent was issued in Kentucky for a wireless telephone.

Mobile phones were invented in the 1940s when engineers working at AT&T developed cells for mobile phone base stations.

The first ever mobile phones were two-way radios that allowed people such as the emergency services to communicate.

In 1973, Motorola was the first company to mass produce the very first handheld mobile phone.
