Tweeting from Everest has only been made possible after Nepali mobile network operator Ncell installed the first 3G station at the mountain’s base camp in October 2010. In a cunning marketing ploy Samsung provided Cool with the Android powered handset to ensure the first ever 3G call and tweet from the top of the world came from a Samsung handset.
Cool said of his achievement,
“I’ve climbed Everest before but have never been able to share the exhilaration and excitement I experience when I reach the top with those back home.”
