Your Turn
How old were you when you got your first cell phone. This should be an interesting question to those over 40 also.

I was in my early 20s when I got my first cell phone PS I like the updated website
I was young and one of the first 'kids' to have a phone, because my parents lived in another country and they were worried. I was 18, it was 1996, and it was a Nokia 'brick' phone.
I was shocked when I went to study in LA in 1998, and very few people had mobile phones, everybody had pagers. Only 'important' people seems to have phones. Nobody had pagers in Europe, everyone had mobiles by then.
Guess my age-- 2 years ago. And I don't use it except as a backup to a landline I just use to let people leave me voice mails I can hear live and not answer.
18 when I could do it without my parents signing off
Oh I send texts on it occasionally though--very occasionally.
About 16 or 15? Like Marlo, I was also one of the first in my class to have a mobile phone. It was a Nokia 3310 (Navy blue, but then I also got a metallic snow white cover too—I was addicted to playing "Snake" on that thing). I miss that phone a lot sometimes, but I feel like I'm not allowed to miss it because I donated it... ♥
Only about 3–4 other students had mobiles in my class (most of them were the Nokia 6310). I hid it in my uniform pocket because I didn't want any of the other kids to get jealous and hate me. Eventually, I decided to tell one classmate, because I thought I could trust her. I thought she'd be happy for me... But she got jealous and eventually turned on me. LOL, I have real adult problems now.
OMG, sandy is my mother in law ^^^ !
Lol. I remember those rudimentary games on Nokia. My first Nokia didn't even have games. But I had a cool banana Nokia later, that would keep me entertained during boring lectures.
Probably 37. They hadn't been out for more than 5 or 6 years and I was still a holdout.
Around 52. I always refused to have one but my wife finally insisted. Got a TracFone, the cheapest one I could get. When people ask me what kind of smartphone I have I tell them I don't have one, I have a dumbfone.
Late 30's. It was an Emerson flip phone.
When I was in college.
22. Year 2000
I see that y2k was a stepping in this website commenters to have a cellphone, because that age was when I was given my first at Christmas, also aged 22.
I never wanted one, but it was a present, and if I had not internet in it, I would not care about mobiles today either.
It was around 25 - so 1996 maybe? My husband and I were both traveling extensively for work then, so we'd have very expensive arguments via two cellphones. We changed careers, downsized, and had kids after that. We were able to then bicker in person over new topics like whose turn it was to get up :-).
Just turned 50 last month, and I still reuse to have one.
32 in 1990. It was a "car phone" and as far as I remember it could only plug into a car lighter jack, not a wall plug.
Early to mid-thirties, maybe. Sometime around '05 or '06. It was a basic black flip phone. After that I had a pink razr flip phone, which I loved, but it eventually stopped holding a charge.
I was about 25, when the first reasonably sized Nokia's came out.
My eldest kid is nearly 16 and won't be getting one until he can afford to pay for it's use himself.
22 or 23. I was never hone so keeping a land line seemed silly.
28
I think I was 35 when I got my Nokia. I rarely used it and didn't want to be bothered with taking phone calls when I was out and about. (Actually, I still don't.) My older son had to wait until middle school to get his first phone. He was a bit salty when his 10 year old brother got one.
I love how people used to call that the "banana" phone (I thought only people who speak my local language called it that). Also, we'd get our phones confiscated if we got caught using them in class. ?
I think I was 28 or 29. Upgrade from my pager!
I got my first phone when I turned 16 because my mom didn't want me to drive without a phone. It was 2005 and it was a kyocera phantom and it had the game snake on it and I played it for hours lol.
My text limit was 250
About 35 or 36
22. Since 25 always newest models..i was a holdout then threw the car in 4th! Lol
Makes me wonder how we made it without them. Get lost going somewhere and having to find a payphone to call for directions etc.
19. Got cut off when I was 27 and didn't care to get it reactivated for a few yrs later.
