who made the fist cell phone, what service company was it?

Answer 1

According to a 2003 press release on the Motorola website:

In 1983, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X phone was the first portable cellular phone to receive FCC type acceptance and become available for consumer purchase just a few months later – igniting a frenzy of growth and consumer demand for personal wireless communication.

In the 1940s and 50s, Motorola applied advances in radio technology to introduce its first pager, its first car radiotelephone and radio transponders, including the radio transponder used by Astronaut Neil Armstrong to speak his famous first words from the moon in 1969. In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, Motorola developed a handheld communication device intended for mass consumer use – the cellular phone. By the time the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X phone became the first FCC-approved portable cellular telephone in 1983, the company had invested fifteen years of research and $100 million in the advancement of cellular technology. The DynaTAC 8000X phone weighed 28 ounces, was 13 x 1.75 x 3.5 inches in dimension, boasted one hour of talk time and eight hours of standby time and featured a LED display. (The popular name for this phone was the Brick Phone because it was shaped like a brick and just about as heavy as one.)

“Consumers were so impressed by the concept of being always accessible with a portable phone that waiting lists for the DynaTAC 8000X were in the thousands, despite the initial $3,995 retail price,” recalled Rudy Krolopp, one of the original Motorola design team members responsible for creating the DynaTAC 8000X phone. “In 1983, the notion of simply making wireless phone calls was revolutionary and it was an exciting time to be pioneering the technology at Motorola.”

Answer 2

Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) - Also called Analog Mobile Phone System because it is entirely analog in its operation. This was the first cell phone standard approved by the FCC, in 1983. It operates in the 800 MHz radio band and its frequencies are 30 kHz wide, which gives a voice quality similar to that of a wired telephone. A later version of this standard, called the Narrowband Mobile Phone System (NAMPS), uses some digital technology to triple the number of voice channels per carrier to 1,185. Neither AMPS nor NAMPS offer any of the services available under digital standards, such as internet access.

Answer 3

The first cellular phone weighed 2 pounds!

Martin Cooper is considered the father of the handheld cellular phone which was invented in 1973. It weighed a whopping 2 pounds! Initially, cell phones were used only for military and company business purposes. They were popular "gadgets" on TV and in film for many years. Cell phones became available for general use in 1983. According to a study conducted by Teenage Research Unlimited in 2000, about 24 percent of American girls own a wireless phone. Cellular phones are even more popular in Europe than in the United States; nearly 2/3 of all Europeans have a wireless phone.
