UK’s first mobile phone user remembers his call 30 years on

There, he made history – by making Britain’s first mobile phone call to his father Sir Ernest Harrison, the chairman of a new firm called Racal Vodafone.

Vodafone was one of two firms given a licence to operate a new cellular phone network – and it was in a race to beat its rival BT Cellnet to get up and running first.

It succeeded – Cellnet’s first call came a few weeks into 1985.

In an exclusive interview, Michael Harrison recalls that historic moment to BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.
