why was the phone invented
Originally, it was invented for use in emergencies, and to spread information that was on a need to know basis. Then, once the cell phone caught on, it had all sorts of apps added to it, so the cell phone came from just a calling function with caller ID [I think] into the I phone which has over 75,000 apps.n 1947 Bell Labs made the first cell phone, but it took Dr. Cooper of Motorola to make â¦ a cell phone in 1974 for the government. The public use of cell phones began in 1984. Your question has two answers. The phone was invented in 1889 by Bell.
