When did you get your 1st cellphone?

When did you get your first cellphone?
Does it seem impossible that you ever didn’t have one?

It took me for. ever. to get one. I clung to my pager long past it's usefulness.


Nope, don't know how I lived without a smartphone. What DID people do in those awkward moments of just standing around waiting?

On my 13th birthday so that would be 2003. I don't remember the model but it was definitely a Nokia phone and may have been second hand.

I didn't have it long though, I lost it a few weeks later. sad

Mine got drenched wet at the Fair and stopped working, I had a decision to make I relented and bought a smartphone, they got me, then found out I didn't have enough memory to do all I wanted so had to upgrade, hook line and sinker. I don't use even half of it's features but the ones I do I wear them out. Shall I foolishly allow it to lead me to the Grand Canyon's North Rim on my own this summer???

Few years ago. I always viewed cellphones and many other things as a luxury item that I would not have until I had 500k in the account!

What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

1986, but it was a "car phone". It was installed in the car.

The first portable phone I got was in 1990. It was a phone with a battery pack, but I guess that counts.

The first "cell phone" I got was probably in 1995 or so.

My dad had a car phone back in the 1970's. I remember it was a phone with, like, 10 buttons you had to push, hoping to find an outside line.

I thought my second phone was bad a$$ because it was a flip and didn’t cut out when I went under an overpass.

Pretty sure it was 1994.

Bought a Nokia phone when I was 18 (2001) & snuck it in everytime I went home, my parents didn't allow them. At the time, 18 year old boys had no business using cellphones lol times have truly changed.
