Black and white footage of a young female chatting into a wireless handset - said to have been filmed at a factory in the United States in the 30s - has attracted over 300,000 plays on YouTube.

Walkie-Talkies were around then, I’m pretty sure, probably used in the military. The poor mans’ cell phone is still sold today.

If you look at the woman walking in front of her,
her purse is small and fits in her hand too.
I suppose she could be wearing a Blue tooth...

I cannot believe this reporter took the claim that this was a cell phone research project seriously.
