Re: My first mobile phone (1992)
My first was a Philips car mount analogue closely followed by aMotorola Microtac analogue. The first was loaned to me and they paid the bill but restricted where I could call. The Motorola was loaned but I was allowed to use it for my own account. When GSM started I bought a Microtac with the full size (credit card) SIM. I do have one of the Motorola International 1000 phones, the GSM equivalent of the early one where the car transceiver and handset were mounted on a frame with a big lead acid battery. The battery is long dead but I bet I could still power it up from a PSU. I wonder if it would actually work?
