Yes I worked on farms in the 1980s....The farmer I worked for told me if anyone is after him ...tell them to ring me on my portable phone he said......I watched amazed as he walked to a tractor...body listing to one side with the weight of the battery ....I don't think anybody rang it has they might of been warned about the cost....he didn't have it long.

Mine was in a leather carry case, looked like a GPO engineers test phone with an antenna and weighed a ton lol. When in the car you unplug the handset and plugged it in the car.. went from that to the best analogue mobile ever, the NEC P3..

Got my first mobile phone in1996...it was a nec...the phone was supplied to me by the company I worked for...I started the job and that night went around my parents house and while we were in the kitchen I rang my mum's landlines that was positioned about 10 ft away in the next room....my mother and father couldn't believe I had contacted the land line and I remember them saying wow...modern technology. .what next....never heard of texts then...that phone just made and received calls....went to a pub in Anglesey that year and in that pub was a guy in distress has the landlord told him the phone was out of order....realising he was in a life or death situation I offerd him the mobile to use....he nearly fainted and was in amazement that it worked...1996...those were the days.The phone used to make you jump out of your skin while driving down the motorway...in disbelief someone was calling...back to the original question...I don't have my phone in a cradle..I place it in the recess under the row of switches.originally I did have my Nokia in a cradle but the Samsung in a aluminium gorrilla case is to big to fit in the cradle so...I'm not buying another...other cars have Bluetooth voice control...so the phone is stored out of the way in the cubby box.

I remember those days got mine in 1987 lol had a series 1 mk1 RS Turbo as a company car, they were trying to make me get a mk 2 but I point blank refuses until bitter end when it was nicked outside of a pub in cheadle 😖.

I remember text messages where like magic 🤣. Think my first gsm phone was a Alcatel, hated it.

Remember how abreviations were more important has you only had so many letters in 1 message...or was it because of the price of the text per letter..you also thought your calls were private untill we learnt of the scanners for sale from tandy where even lady diana was listened to by someone using one.

I thought I might like to put my phone in a cradle...........but some idiot had stuck a baby in there! :bust:

Back when they first came out, my first mobile phone was a Motorola bolt to the car job.........it could store up to 30 phone numbers!
