The idea of phones actually go back to the 1800's, but Bell was the first person to make one. Cell phones actually go back to the 1930's with police radios began. In 1947 Bell labs make the first cell phone prototype, but it never goes beyond that point. In 1974 Dr. Martian Cooper developed a cell phone and it was sold to government agencies until 1984 when it was finally sold to the public.
