The first truly hand held mobile phone was the DYNATAC (dynamic adaptive total area coverage) . Cooper made the first true cell call in 1973. It was not until 1983 that the FCC and IEEE gave their approval. One of the first cell carriers using 800 AMPS was AMERITECH. AMERITECH network was a CHICAGO BASED CARRIER, owned by AT&T and was based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1984. Eventually owned by SBC after the AT&T breakup. At that time CELLULAR ONE was also intertwined. Eventually part of American Information Technologies. As part of this lot of CELL PHONE HISTORY IS: Professionally Framed AMERITECH original commemorative art (11”x13”) . It is an aluminum frame and matted LIMITED EDITION image of a stylized neo modern utopian city with an abstract phone . The beginning of a NEW ERA!!!! The network supporting the Motorola DYNATAC phones was turned on SEPT. 1983. It was an 800 amps system. THE DAY IN HISTORY WHICH CHANGED OUR WORLD. AMERITECH installed the cell system in 15 cars that parked outside Soldier Field in CHICAGO. Cubs announcer, Jack Brickhouse gave the play by play thru a call to these phones. THIS PRINT WAS ONLY GIVEN to those lucky 15 people who got the FIRST CELL PHONES at SOLDIER FIELD. The day in history was SEPTEMBER 13, 1983. On that day the truly first CELL PHONE call was made to the son of Alexander Graham Bell. The original phone was the Motorola 8000x. Retail $3999 at that time and 42 cents/minute. The commemorative print was obtained from one of the first 15 people to get a cell phone that day. HENCE only 15 of these were ever printed. How many survived ? More provenance can be provided to the buyer of this lot.
