Did you know that the the very first mobile phone call in the UK took place on 1st January 1985.
The call was made by Comedian Ernie Wise using the Vodafone mobile network. He was in St Katherine’s Dock – a bustling marina in the middle of London (next to Tower Bridge and The Tower of London) – and he called Vodafone’s head office in Newbury.
Another little known fact of the time, is that the Vodafone head office was actually based on top of a curry house!
