[anon(153966)]

In 1999, I was still living in London, and rolling with a Nokia 8110. BUT, the English one! Our was spring loaded when you'd push the bottom slide out to answer a call, etc. The America one, didn't do\offer that

I was roughly 11yrs old so in middle-school. Got my 1st phone as a gift when I was 14, it was an Ericsson T-39m (flip-phone as many would call it).

I had just been transferred to Europe (still here), and had traded my US Moto MicroTac (I think) for a new Eu Ericsson dual band world phone (company paid that 2,000$ freight.)

Didn't get my first cell phone until a year after when I started college. It was a black and white Samsung flip phone. Good phone actually, but the only Samsung I've owned since.

Found the phone.

An old friend.... Lol

 

[Trooper27]

LOL, I was also in New Jersey using the same device. I loved that little phone. I still have it.

Props to you for being in NJ and having a Startac! I loved that phone. I don't have it anymore as I had to trade it in years ago to Verizon to get an upgrade or something like that. Wish I still had it for sentimental reasons.

By 1999 I had sold my pager to a local store that bought used pagers & cellphones, got $15 for it as I recall. I didn't bother getting anything to replace it and simply carried two $0.25 Quarters in my wallet in case I needed to call someone from a payphone. I also did not own a car and just used a bicycle+public transit to get around. I didn't get my first cellphone until 2 years later, and first car the year after that.

I believe this was the pager (Motorola Memo Express, purple, except mine was translucent):
