Mongolian Cell Phones

Unusual form of communication of the day: Mongolian mobile phones. These are mobile, but attached to a person. And they are the size of a regular desk telephone. From the 1970s. These white behemoths have a little arial, and there bearers are summoned by drivers of cars and pedestrians alike. If it’s a car driver who wants to use the phone, the bearer will pass the handset and undertake dialling, and collect payment when the call is done. In the UK, Orange used to pride themselves on customer service. But they never dialled the number for you. Mongolia – 1, UK – 0.
