FIRST LANDLINE TELEPHONE COST:

When landline phones came out, they were owned by the telephone company and leased to the users. Some say the rent was $20.00 to $40.00 per month, though that could not be verified and the equivant today is a whopping $470.00 to $942.00.

FIRST CELL PHONE COST:

Designed by Rudy Krolopp, the Motorola DynaTac 8000X was the world's first cell phone. It cost $3,995 in 1984. The Motorola DynaTac 8000X took more than 10 years and over $100 million to develop. It weighed 2 pounds, earning the nick name 'The Brick'. The DynaTac 8000X only had a 1/2 hour talk-time per charge.

The first cell phone call actually took place 10 years earlier. On April 03 1973 Martin Cooper, general manager of Motorola's Communications Systems Division, place a phone call to AT&T's Bell Labs from the streets of New York City on a development model of the DynaTac 8000X.
