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.
The first mobile phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x, and it weighed 2.5 pounds. It had a text-only LED screen and had only one line of text. It was 10 years after the invention before consumers could purchase this mobile phone. On September 21, 1983, the FCC approved the phone for consumers to buy. The man responsible for inventing the first mobile phone was Martin Cooper from Motorola. His first call was to Bell Systems' Joel Engel, his rival at the time.
