Where were you in 1999? What device did you have?

[Honey Beagle]

Before 1960 the downtown numbers were 2 letters and 4 numbers.

Classified number was MOhawk or MO. 5555. AFTER during 1960 the number was changed to TL 6 5555. Then eventually 856 5555.

The 2 letters 4 number phone numbers looked cool. My number now can be MISsion 0987. That is what I have on the round tag on the dial wheel.

Would be neat if the phone books we're printed as so.

Very interesting and informative. Going to read up on this.

This is a fun trip down memory lane! I got my first cellphone in 1999 when I went off to college - a Mitsubishi G75....

Funny, yesterday I was with a friend writing down the phones we used to own...
In 1999 I had a Nokia 8210. It was all about having the smallest phone back then. It's the only phone ever which I owned for 2 years!

Colored buttons?! Yours was much classier than mine.

Just got my overpriced Gateway PC. No cell. I hate I purchased that piece of crap pc.

But, oh, the Gateway cow motif.

LOL . It was the Sprint version. I was looking for the charger, but I can't seem to find it.

 

[xchpstang]

I had a Sony CM-RX100 with Airtouch but for a while I disconnected it for a few months of that year because I was fresh out of high school and pretty much too broke to afford the Airtouch bill.

 

[bakron1]

I was using a Nextel flip phone with the chirp feature back then.

[Sean Peters1]

Lol. I was on active duty in the Navy and still rocking the Pilot 5000, I believe. No cell phone at the time.

I living in Miami and, if I remember correctly, I had a Motorola StarTac and bouncing between a Palm Pilot & Compaq...
