In 1946 there was a small number of car phone services begun in St Louis, Missouri, USA.

In 1973 the first successful hand-held mobile phone was developed by Martin Cooper.

Dr Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems division at Motorola, is considered the inventor of the first modern portable handset. Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone to his rival, Joel Engel, head of research at Bell Laboratories.

Bell had introduced the idea of cellular communications in 1947 with their police car technology and had been racing to beat Motorola. But in the end Motorola was first to incorporate the technology into a portable device designed for use outside a vehicle.

The first really portable phone for the general public was produced in 1985 by Vodaphone.

The idea of cell phones dates to the 1920's and police radios. The first cell phone was made by Bell labs in 1947, but it wasn't until 1974 when Dr. Cooper of Motorola made the first cell phone we would call a cell phone for the government. In 1984 the first cell phone was sold to the public.

1974 by Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola. Yet, the phone was not sold to the public until 1984 and the service was very poor in 1984. There were few cell towers, the cost of using the phone was expensive, calls were dropped, and the phones were huge. I had one and carried it in the car just in case of a emergency. It was in a zipper bag with a battery that took up the whole bottom and it was made like a house phone. Only calls could be made on the first phones and there were no internet, no apps, or camera, or other features that are on phones today.
