Yes, it was, and these were probably ETSI 300 131 cells ('Cordless Telephone Type 2'), although I'm not sure any networks based on this were ever deployed in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT2
In Europe, CT2 networks briefly enjoyed some popularity, before being superseded by NMT networks for public use sometime in the 1990s. These were analog and had worse audio quality, but at least allowed incoming calls (CT2 was outbound-only).
