Robert Bosch GmbH began manufacturing mobile phones in the 1980 within its telecommunications division. They introduced their Handfunktelefon or Handy range which included models such as the analogue Bosch Handy C9 which was intended to compete with Motorola's MicroTAC. However, the Bosch mobile phone division was sold to Siemens in 2000.

In addition to the standard phone functions, it provided an address book memory for storage of up to 100 telephone numbers with associated names with the option of storing additional numbers on the SIM card. The screen could display 2 x 12 characters with additional icons such as signal and battery strength meters. There were a range of call timers provider and the CarTel would both send and receive SMS messages.
