my 1st cell phone

wow! my fist cell phone! I bought it way back in ancient times - 1990 to be exact and, man was it ever expensive to own and have an account! It was just a brick phone with a long antenna that had to be extended in order to make or receive a call. I want to say it was a nokia, but I am not sure. In 1990 there was NO text messaging on cell phones, nor was there caller ID. A cell phone only made and received calls. Period. My area had 2 cell phone companies - cellular one and GTE. Cellular one became AT & T and GTE eventually became Alltel. In those ancient days, cell phones were strictly marketed to business people and pagers were all the rage. I had to pay $80/month JUST TO HAVE SERVICE!!!- there were no minutes included!!! Back then you had to pay for each minute you used - they were priced at peak and off peak. I think peak minutes were 60 cents and off peak were 35 cents. In those days you drove to a pay phone, called someone on your cell phone and said to the person you called "hey, call me back at this number" (the number of the pay phone) so you wouldn't get 2 or 300 dollar bills each month!!! No kidding. We've come a very long way since those dark ages and what a very strange but interesting trip it was!

I remember my mom having a loaner (back when Cell One gave out loaner demos) and walking up and down the street, calling people on it, here in Cincinnati lol.

the mid 90's, i dont even remember what the phone was called but it was a Qualcom, a thin phone for the times, lol. the ear piece was a wider sideways oval shape design with the rest of the phone straight like an iPhone. I tried googling for a pic but had no success.

Moved onto my first smart phone, a bb8330 in 2008. Made my way through 2 more bb's, and landed at the end of 2011 with my first iPhone4S

was it this?

Sony Ericsson z500a on Cingular.

Ewwww I feel your pain. that phone was horrible....

Nokia 6180 too! I thought I was so cool with that phone. First thing I did was buy a light blue face plate and then painted my nails to match. Oh how I miss the days when I wasn't sure I if I could afford my $40 cell phone bill...

This one or very similar to it. I still have one tucked away because it was my late husband's. We had the same phones. We were with PacBell at the time.

I think it was this one.
