I had one about 1988. Size of a small brick. I can't remember the make but I can remember the number, it was an 0421 code. Big improvement over my pager, which relied on me finding a phone box, just around the time BT were trying to make them invisible to the public in see through glass.
My friend and neighbour, John, had one much earlier, he had a wedding car business and had a phone in it's own brown leather shoulder case. He is the only person I knew well who died of Covid . 6/2/21 in Bulgaria, where he lived.
