I can’t ever find a pic of the exact one but I got it in 2000 or so. It didn’t vibrate so for a year I kept both the beeper and the phone. Couldn’t hear the phone when out at TJs baw. Actually that first one I barely kept it on.

PrimeCo, 2001. I’ve had the same phone number this entire time. Back then, you could go stand behind the counter with the associate and pick whatever phone number you wanted if it was available....and at that time almost every number was available. Last 4 digits of my number are 5000.

Y’all from New Orleans remember when Cash Money would rap about there primeco phones? Like it was some baller shite. Then No Limit said frick a primeco I got a Nextel phone like that was another level of baller. Good times.

Yep.
Unless it was close to the end of the usage cycle.. Then they added the "rollover minutes" from month to month..
Hard to believe they had limited minutes, then rollover minutes, roaming fees, long distance fees and texting fees.. Remember during Katrina most mobility companies forgave texting fees...
I bet a lot of younger people didn't know these charges ever existed..
