What was your first cell phone?

Moto RAZR

The infamous Nokia 3310.

Motorola bag phone: circa 1992. I still use a Motorola Razor VM 3 flip phone to this day, and very happy with it.

Must have been the 80's. I had a phone that had to be installed in the trunk with the handset mounted on the console. Had the pigtail antenna in the middle of the back window. It cost $3k and my monthly payments were lease to own. I think I had Cingular in the Wash. DC area. You paid by the minute and it was expensive. It was analogue and when you had a good signal, people could not tell you were on a cell phone. Back then mostly Drs. had them and the pigtail on your car was unique. I paid it off and had it installed it in several cars. It was a business write off for me.

Phone lasted me I think 3 or 4 years. Then there was a connection that went bad from the phone being on vibrate and the display stopped working.


Edit: it's 2017 and I still only have 250 texts a month. Don't even come close!


Get a Google Voice number, free texts and minimal data usage.

A Samsung Rant. I loved the pull-out analog keyboard. I really hate touch screens. I like to feel and hear the "click" of an analog button.

Don't remember the phone but I remember it was with Cingular, and with a discount through my employer. Per-minute charge starting with the first minute, but the phone was for emergency use only so I could live with that.

Funny part was that I was supposed to get a credit to make that phone free, but the credit never showed and when I called to follow-up on it the rep saw that there was an offer, but couldn't apply it so they gave me a month's free service. It would have been cheaper for them to figure out how to give me the credit to start with because I made sure to use only that phone for the month it was free and at a per-minute billing cost, I racked hp a huge bill that they then forgave.

Motorola V2397 in 2000.

A Motorola bag phone. Wish I still had it. It would be kind of cool to show the grand kids.

[fsdork]

Motorola StarTac 7797. I kinda miss that thing.

At the time, I worked for a struggling electronics company called "Silo" that was forced to clear out a ton of stock. As a result, I got one of these for next to nothing:

At the time, it was such an awesome phone.

 

[Lolvoguy]

Nokia 3205i (clearly wanting to cash on on the BMW assimilation, and no, that's not why I got it).

[huffmuds9320]

I had a Nokia 3285i back around 2002 or 2003.

 

[Jim K]

Didn`t have one in my cell at San Quentin.

 

[fdcg27]

A little Nokia brick with a little stub antenna.
We got these sometime around 1997 when we still has pre-teen kids and my wife drove 25 miles south to work and I 25 miles north.
Seemed like a good idea to be able to keep in touch.
