I don't remember exactly. I think I was between the ages of 35 to 40.

I do not own a cellphone. Not because I don't want one, but because I don't like what I see in the world of cellphone users, and I don't want to jump on that bandwagon.

I was about 27 I think. I had a normal phone in my house and I was happy with the answer phone going off when I was out of the house.

I was 11 and it was 1998, not too many kids had them back then but I was always on top of technology!

Is it one of those big ones with the shoulder strap like what Danny Glover used in the first Lethal Weapon movie? :P
I'm sorry. I couldn't resist ;D

Those things were big and bulky! If you tried to put one in your pocket, it most likely wouldn't fit.
Zack Morris even used one on "Saved By The Bell", and that was roughly 20 years ago.

No, they fit, but then people would come up to you and say "Is that a cellphone in your pocket or are you just really happy to see me?"

I think I got my first cell phone at age fifteen. It wasn't exactly up-to-date in technological standards, either. All it could really do was make phone calls. I remember desperately wanting a cell phone that could send text messages and take pictures.

I was 29. We got the phone either in late 98 or early 99 after my daughter was born. It was a package of a phone and a pager.

I think I got mine when I was pregnant with my daughter, around 1999. I was 30.
It looked like this...

I had one that looked like that, too! That is, when I upgraded for the first time, around mid-2000.

I was 40, the question is, do I really need one?
My wife and I share 700 minutes with unlimited in-calling. last month's phone bill was like this:
Text Sent: 0
Text Recieved: 0
Total Minutes: 13
Total Billing Minutes: 0
My wife's half had 82 total minutes.

Back in 1998 when I was 37. I still have the same number even though I've gone through a few phones.

As do I; my number has not changed, even though I've moved once since I first got a phone.
