Keep in mind.... no cell phone towers during this time. It would be totally useless even if it was a phone.

Except of course it is not a cell phone - it is radio telephony - which post WW1 was pretty flash - most radio at that time was morse code, and being able to send & receive voice was technological cutting edge. Even at the start of WW2 not all tanks and aircraft had radio telephones, and some that did have radios had single-frequency ones that could only receive and not send - ie they could receive orders, but not transmit situation reports, etc.
