Mine was the Nokia 252 with a woodgrain face and extendable antenna and back-lit screen. In 1998 that was the sheeeeit. Was small even by today's standards with lots of cool ringtones. "Why of course you can use my phone. Don't forget to pull up the little antenna".

I had a mobile phone when I didn't know anyone else with one.

It was 1991

It cost me a fortune to use.

People used to laugh and point if I used it out and about

Was it bulky and white? Yeah that was a bit of a kooky gadget back then lol

Some I knew had pagers/beepers back then. You get a page and then go to the nearest payphone booth. You were a certified don if you had one!

Do two tin cans connected by string count ?

Limited amount of people you could call but you've got to start somewhere.

Progressed to a pager and then a car phone that was wired in before the holy grail of a brick phone.

I thought I was don Johnson on Miami vice at one point

your imagination

Mine was a huge Motorola 'brick with an antenna' back in 1995... The days when Ireland had only 1 network provider (Eircell) and you had to stand on chairs, hang out of windows and climb trees to get a signal...

Early 90's Nokia with pull up aerial. Only had a few ring tones, but all variations on a standard "ring-ring"

If I remember correctly, there could even have been a connection fee when anyone phoned me. Battery by today's standards was rubbish.

Despite the size of the phone, I managed to lose it although thankfully they had stated going from analogue to digital then

Hiding in the shadows

1991... A great big thing in the car, that was attached to something akin to a car battery.

It coukd onjy be classes as a mobile device on the car as you definitely couldn't carry it far

Nokia 2140; the first phone available on Orange... it was a brick but absolutely bomb proof with a battery that lasted for days no matter how much snake you played. The days before predictive text haha!

That was 1993/4 and I still have the same number - and still have the phone (yes, it works!)

A Motorola something or other in ‘98. You could only fit two lines of text on the screen. I genuinely didn’t know about text messaging until my then chap showed me what it was all about. Amazing how much you could convey in just a few words when it was 12p a text!
