Obviously, Dr. Cooper got the opportunity to make the first mobile phone call. Wondering who was the first receiver of a cell phone call? It was Joe, Cooper’s rival working with the Bell Laboratories!
There is another story, which credits the invention of cell phones to Bell Labs, as it was a Bell Labs’ employee who devised the implementation of automatic switchover system. The concept of cells that was developed at Bell Labs proved crucial in the invention of cellular technology. According to this story about the history of cell phones, Dr. Cooper did not develop the mechanism for switching between cells. He only built a radiotelephone and that the real inventors of the cellular technology were the technologists at Bell Labs.
Wondering what the first cell phone looked like? It hardly resembled the modern day, fancy mobile phones. It was fairly expensive and bulky. It worked over a limited range and could not come into commercial use until 10 years later. Today, for most of us, our cell phones are pieces of technology we can’t do without!
