Year Event type Details
1876 (March 10) Antecedent Scottish-born Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, makes the first phone call.[1] United States
1960 The first fully automated mobile telephone is introduced in Sweden. The system, known in Swedish as Mobiltelefonisystem A (MTA), allows for automated connection from a rotary handset (that’s the circular dialing knob to me and you) mounted within a car, but requires an operator to forward calls.[2][2] Sweden
1962 Mobiltelefonisystem A (MTA) is replaced by Mobiltelefonisystem B (MTB), which uses transistorized mobile sets. This system would last until 1983.[2] Sweden
1973 The first mobile call is made by a Motorola employee. The phone weighs over a kilo and takes 10 hours to charge.[1]
1979 1G, the first generation of wireless telephone technology, is launched in Japan by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT). It is the first commercially automated cellular network.[1] "initially in the metropolitan area of Tokyo. Within five years, the NTT network had been expanded to cover the whole population of Japan and became the first nationwide 1G network." Japan
1981 "In 1981, the Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) system simultaneously launched in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. NMT was the first mobile phone network to feature international roaming."
