You may have thought that those large mobile phones from the 1980 were some of the largest mobile phones as well as some of the first that people carried around.
It turns out that there were some even larger mobile phones back in 1964, and there were around 1.5 million people using them in the US running on AT&T’s network which was called their “Improved Mobile Telephone Service” at the time.
I think I would have much prefered to carry one of these around than one of those from the 80s, luckily our cell phones are much smaller these days.
