How old were you when you got your first cell phone?

I was 18 and bought my own with my own credit (1997 ).
Young kids and teenagers have them handed to them now and it's ridiculous. Make them earn it doing chores or by working. And I know that most of these kids do nothing to earn them since all day they have their face glued to their phone.

28, around 2000 or 2001. I was one of the last of my buddies to get one. Caved in to the peer pressure.

Had a Radiophone cell phone for work starting about 1984-85.

When you hit the MS-LA line Eastbound on I-10 it became a glorified electric brick.

My sister is 13 now. She got her first phone, an iPhone, 2 days ago. Said she was the last one of her friends to get one.

I was 16 and I remember having a Virgin mobile prepaid slide phone. I had to buy the cards for minutes and texts. Shite was expensive (like 5cents per text) but that was the deal my parents gave me.

Pretty sure this was it

Those slide phones were the tits when they came out.

I used to slap my flip phone open and closed all the time. It would drive my mom crazy

My family got its first cell phone just before I turned 10 in 1997. I got my own personal cell phone at the age of 18 in 2005.
