Nokia 5110, back in the very late 90s was my first phone.

First cellular phone to make a phone call on? The Motorola 2950(i think) bag phone in my Aunt’s mid 90s convertible mustang. It only worked in certain parts of San Antonio, Tx. An average phone call cost about 15-20 bucks (back then calls were dollars per minute not minutes per dollar).

Now get off my fuckin lawn.
