bamber 128 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Rabbit. Wasn't that a poor man's mobile telephone system? You had a relatively cheap hand set but you had to stand close to a base station (advertized by the rabbit sign) to use it. It never caught on as the price of "proper" mobile telephony fell. Who can remember the other wireless telephone system that went spectacularly bust in the middle 90s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Who can remember the other wireless telephone system that went spectacularly bust in the middle 90s? Would that be the Dolphin system? The same one that transmitted on the same wavelength as car alarm systems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bamber 128 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 No it wasn't Dolphin. That wasn't fit for porpoise If you keep your eyes peeled you'll occasionally see evidence of the system still in place. Bamber Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was the first network that allowed person to person radio talk over the network (free of charge) along with normal mobile telephone coverage. Unfortunately, it transmitted on the same wavelength as car alarms so whenever some one wanted to talk on the handset, any cars in the vicintiy would start sounding the alarm. Quite funny when you watched it. The introduction of real mobile phones, as we know them, signed the death warrant for the service, hence the sign you posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
