New Delhi: On this day, exactly 20 years ago, a telephone call was made. It changed the way we communicate for ever and ushered in a communication revolution in India. The then Union Telecom Minister Sukh Ram and the then Chief Minister of West Bengal Jyoti Basu spoke to each other using hand held mobile phones on July 31, 1995. It was a first for India.

That cellular call inaugurated MobileNet service in Calcutta
