Celebrating 30 Years Since the First Ever Mobile Phone Call
It’s almost hard to believe that the first-ever phone call was only conducted 30 years. Yes, the emergence of the first of Telstra mobile phones was only released in 1981. Now, almost every Australian has a mobile phone and is making the most of their Telstra mobile plans. So, let’s take a look at the incredible journey mobile phones have made over the last three decades.
The First-Ever Phone
Telstra mobile phones have been the industry leaders for a very long time. The first call in Australia was made on Telstra’s new Public Automatic Telephone system.
This device the call was made from was a hefty 14kg, 45cm handset and required a massive receiver which was stored in the boot of your car.
It also came in at the incredible cost of $5000 for this massive piece of hardware.
It really was the basics of what mobile phones were to become, only being able to store a maximum of 16 contacts.
The Revolution
We then started seeing the rise of portable handsets around 1983, but phone coverage was incredibly limited and only 1000 people could be using it at any given time.
Now, the Telstra network offers incredible connectivity to over 11 Million users across Australia. Telstra mobile plans give you full 4G connectivity and comprehensive data packages that allow you to call, stream, game and connect like never before.
Plus, our mobile devices have come a heck of a long way too. We have devices with incredible amounts of storage and battery life for handheld devices.
We can take top-quality photos, stream movies and music, game, work and so much more! Our ability to connect with those around us and those across oceans is something we would have only dreamed of in the 1980s.
To think how far we’ve come in only 30 years surely would make you excited for the advancements that are to come in the next 30!
