First mobile phone call was made 45 years ago. What was said?
It was April 3, 1973 - 45 years ago - that a Motorola employee, Martin Cooper, made the first phone call from a mobile phone, leveraging what would become a true communications revolution.The call made by Cooper was made from Sixth Avenue in New York and was headed by Joel Engel, a Bell Labs worker in New Jersey. And the topic of the conversation? It seems that one of the most revolutionary moments of the modern age did not serve any topic of relevant conversation, having only been a test connection. "'I'm calling to see if my call sounds good to you,' or something like that," Cooper tells the Android Authority.Motorola was to launch its first mobile phone about 11 years later with the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x, which was priced at $ 3,995 for 3,245 euros today.
