Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 331. It is a general or specialist abbreviation of the time, not a claim of first use or popularity that year. The source does not expand the English form, so the expansion was limited to an outgoing-call-only mobile phone.
