1980’s Mobile Phone Revolution: Early Cellnet & Vodafone Mobile Phone Posters

Step back into the late 1980s with these nostalgic advertising posters from Cellnet and Vodafone, celebrating the dawn of mobile communication in the UK! Featuring early mobile phones that were more like “bricks” than the sleek devices we know today, these posters highlight both the ground breaking technology and the expansive (for its time) UK coverage maps.

These early phones were the epitome of cutting edge if you didn’t mind carrying a device the size of a small suitcase and a battery that would make your smart phone feel like it was nuclear powered! Unlike today’s smartphones that can fit in your pocket and do everything short of making you coffee, these vintage phones were primarily about voice calls and making a statement.

The posters not only capture the vibe of the era but also serve as a reminder of how far we’ve come. Perfect for any collector of tech history or retro memorabilia, these pieces offer a charming glimpse into the early days of mobile communication in the UK.
