Children get first mobile phone at average age of eight. Eight is the average age at which children are given their first mobile phone, according to a survey. More than a third of children (35 per cent) own a mobile by the time they are that age, the charity Personal Finance Education Group (pfeg) discovered.
Mobile rigs did not use the telephone network and users could not dial out to standard telephone numbers. The first mobile phone call was made by a truck driver as an experiment in the summer of 1946 from a phone weighing close to 80 pounds. The experiment was considered a success but mobile telecommunication technology was far from commonplace. By 1948, wireless telephone service was available in almost 100 cities.
