I was 18 and it was a Nokia 650. I thought I was the stuff….Lol. It was huge! About the size of a landline phone. It had great reception. I couldn’t complain because my parents bought it for me for my birthday.

I was 19. It was the virgin mobile jax. Talk about indestructible. That has been dropped, kicked, used in the shower, fell in a puddle and everything else that would have broken a phone instantly and it still works, even today. I nicknamed my first the Juggernaut. I use it for brick attack. High score 9840

I got my first cell phone when I was 44 after getting stranded at a campsite with a broke down car. It was a tracfone Nokia 918 I think. Still the only mobile phone I ever had that didn’t have to have a special setting to just press 9 to call Emergency.

16, it was an old nokia that had snake on it. I ran up long distance charges the first month I had it, around 300 bucks. Needless to say, I got rid of it after that. Oh how the times have changed in 10 years.

I was 26 and my mobile phone was with AT&T service. It was called a bag phone, color black. As a matter of fact I think I still have it packed away…it came in a roughly 6×9 vinyl zipper case and when you used the phone you actually pick up the handset off a base with numerals just like an old wall hanging phone. Their was no texting, no download features, yes, folks only a phone number screen. Amazing how advanced technology has brought us. Oh, it had s handle on outside bag like laptop case now to carry it everywhere you went. We thought that was fantastic and modern age.
