Re: My first mobile phone (1992)
I had a NEC analog one which would go very hissy in poor reception areas but you could usually get the gist of the call, however, this got cloned while working in the city of London area...I knew it had been cloned as I had got an odd phone call from someone I didn't know.
Anyway, phone company said I could pick one of these new fangled GSM things from their range FOC. I opted for an Erricson 198 IIRC.
It worked pretty well but I embarrassingly discovered one of it's shortcomings which was that if you were near any sound amplifier at all, it would tell the world it was just about to ring with some short bleeps straight through a PA LOL
