Inside a Motorola MicroTAC | Vintage Ameritech Cell Phone

Описание: The Motorola MicroTAC, seen here in its Ameritech Digital Cellular branding, is one of the most iconic flip phones of the 1990s. First introduced in 1989 and evolving through the mid-1990s, the MicroTAC series brought portability to the mobile phone market, moving away from bulky “brick” designs. This digital model features a monochrome display, a physical keypad with raised buttons, and the signature flip mouthpiece that defined mobile style in its era.

Fun facts:
• The MicroTAC was one of the first phones small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.
• The flip wasn’t just for style—it also protected the keypad when closed.
• This Ameritech-branded model used a digital network for clearer calls and better battery life compared to analog versions.
• Collectors prize these phones for their nostalgic value and classic ‘90s tech aesthetic.
