thumb|right|A Natel B device, released in 1980 Natel is a generic trademark used in Switzerland and in Liechtenstein for 'mobile phone'.
The word was coined in 1975, when the Swiss Postal Telegraph and Telephone introduced a mobile phone service for vehicles in Switzerland: Nationales Auto-TELefonnetz, or "National Car Telephone Network". When the PTT was dismantled in 1998, it split into two public service companies.
