This was made possible when the Nepali mobile network operator Ncell installed the first 3G station at the base camp of Mount Everest in October 2010.

Now, in a nifty marketing trick, Samsung sponsored Cool to use its most powerful smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S II, to make the first 3G call and tweet from the summit.

“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," Cool said. He's climbed Mount Everest eight times before and is one of Britain's most successful alpinists.

Cool also unboxed the Samsung Galaxy S II at the base camp at Everest. We've included the video of that below.
