when was the first time you had your cell phones?

I had my cellphone when i was in college in 2000. the cellphones available back then was nokia 5110, 6110, 6150 (just before 3210 was released on the market). I had my older sister to buy me a nokia 5110 since i still can't afford to buy my own yet. i was really helpful having a cellphone and nowadays, it is one of the necessity of the people. it's quite amazing how technology evolved. now, we can, not only talk or text, surf the internet through our cellphones.

hey!! rightnow m doing my MBA course.. i got my cellphone when m doing my B.COM 1st year in 2005 and my mom gifted me on my b'day....i was so happy ...

Got our first one in 1997 for I did a lot of traveling and worked at night. Was a way for hubby to get to me when he needed too or me him. Now I use mostly if I go on a driving trip

I got my cell phone at the age of sixteen. I just graduated from high school and my parents both us a cell phone as a gift. I and my mom went to the mall to but my first cell phone. I’m happy and excited looking the different cell phone units knowing one of it will be mine. I’m lucky that they let me have a cell phone. They know how importance having one and it’s really important and handy for me as I am entering college at that time. Glad you have one. Most old people don’t want to have cell phones as they don’t need it but in these days it’s practical to have one.

My first cell phone was when I turned 18. I'm 37 now so had a cell phone for about 20 years.

i got my first cell phone in 2003,my brother gave it to me. i am so glad to receive that nice gift, and very excited. and i bought my first cell phone in 2006, it is on my birthday, so i can remember the date clearly, i bought it for my own birthday gift, it is not expensive, but i choose it for a long time, and i think it it perfect for me, and it is also the dearest present i gave to myself, so i like it very very much, and i am using it till today. by the way, you really have a nice daughter!!!!

Every time I bought a cellphone for myself, one of my sons grabs it very conveniently. This has been happening for the past ten years. So I've actually given up on owning one. I just pick up theirs and use it when I want to.

Erssyl, I had my first cell phone in 1989 and it was an analogue phone. A Motorola AJ model, and at that time it was quite a big thing. Not only in status but just carrying one is also quite a burden because it is rather bulky. However, I must say that being bulk has its pros as I did not loose it than those later smaller and sophisticated models. Difficult to misplace and very durable as well. I must stress just how communicating and remaining contactable was made easier from that day on. Just so convenient and handy till today.

I got my first cellphone in 2002 my brother gave it to me as my birthday gift. I really appreciate it because the cellphone that he gave me was the latest model during that time. I still haved that cellphone until now but it's not working anymore. I buy a new cellphone last year and I'm planning to give it to my younger brother because I will buy a new cellphone again maybe late this year. Have a nice day..

I got my 1st cell phone 12 years ago in 1996 when I was 27. They weren't very common then but I had an old car & got it for emergencies only. I'm curious to know if the person who had one for 20 years had a bag phone or hooked up car phone at that time b/c I didn't think regular cell phones were available in 1988.

i got my own cell phone some 3 years ago and that leaves us to 2005 and it was when i joined my college and my uncle bought me one because my college is far from my home and i needed to be in contact with my family and now when i am in the university i have two cellphones and it is a great invention only if you misuse it then it can be a nuisance.i try now not to use it too often as i think it is in some cases a threat to my privacy but still it is good in more than a few situations. good luck

I have my first cellphone when I study in the middle school,there are a few mobilephone at our school,so I was hesitant too. But,I can only communicate with my friends and family by calling and sending short messages.And now more and more functions was made use in the cellphone. However I would yearn for my first cellphone forever!!

when i had my first cell phone ,i was a senior student.But at that time ,i had graduated from our city's famous senior Middle school .This cell phone was a gift for me that entering Hunan province's famous university .

The fisrt phone i owned when i was a freshment in university. But right now,i had already changed it for several time.Because of lacking of money,i brought the cheap one.So the function of the it is not so complete.At that time,function of the mobilephone is the priority to buy it.But right now,when i was a sophosmore,i think the phone is no use except sending message and ask someone else's call actually.But when i step into the social,i think the phone will display it strong function to convinence our lift.

I got my first cell phone when I was 22. It was a simple phone with a screen on it.

Hmmm nice question dear...actually i had my cellphone when i was in 9th grade...i think the year was 2002 or something...i was really surprised when i dad came and gave me cellphone on my b'day....i think tht was my lucky day....i was really glad tht i had my own cellphone..no one can ever forget his first cellphone!!wht say

i didnt get mine until christmas of 2001, hardly anyone had a cell phone so it didnt really matter to me i had a pager, so i have had a cell phone for almost 7 years. (not the same one though)

i had my first mobile phone when i was in 6th grade.. it was a birhday present from my aunt. there was no sms that time and it was basically used to make phone calls..

i had a zonephone sometime in 1994-95 (not too sure if the real term for it but in singapore we call it a zone[hone). it is a combination of a pager and work like a handphone. however, you can only use the phone to call when u are in certain area where there is service, if not, it will only have paging function. it was kind of irritating as whenever i recieved a page and i will to return the page with the phone, chances are i will not be in the network zone unless i am near to a shopping complex or CBD area. so most of the time, i am carrying a useless piece of pager in a cellphone design..haha. thereafter i had my 1st real cellphone in the form of Ericsson PH388. not too sure if u guys seen them before or remember them. they kind of hit the town and everyone was dying to get them before of their sleekness and good looks compare to those water bottled shape handphone.

ok i no cell fones are very essential gadgets of today one may never no wen it coms in handy wether in case of an emergency or to b in touch with ur lovd ones at a time of crisis or need it always coms in use so the aditional expence is worth it i must say
