Yes. Everyone in the U.K. says mobile or mobile phone. What does this mean? Is there someone on the Q Team from Blighty? Maybe an Austin Powers Anon. Groovy baby.
Edit: In the U.K. they use the word "dialling" with 2 "L's", so maybe mobile phone is a term used in the U.S. Military. Any Army Anon's care to chime in?
Probably because he was referencing the 'mobile "phone" application', the dialer, and he was typing, if he was speaking, I bet he would have said 'cell phone'

We called them mobile phones in the 80-early 90s in the USA. Most of them were attached to our cars (ie: car phones).

in casual speech no one in US calls them that. Maybe in written form, maybe. depends on context.
