What is the first ever cell phone you owned?

[Bluff_Dweller]

Motorola bag phone from AT&T. Been with them ever since. Now using Samsung flip phone. It doesn't get much use except for long distance calls.

I don't remember the brand, it was from T-mobile though. It was a hand me down from my parents, I had just entered college in 2003 and they gave me the phone; It was red in the front and had a candy bar shape. I do remember my second phone though, it was one of those Motorola razr flip phones.

My very first cell phone...was around 2004. Don't remember the model but I do remember it was from AT&T. A real POS, had to step out of the office to get ANY signal either incoming or outgoing. Do remember I went back to AT&T and told them "No Thanks"...they had a trial period that if you were not satisfied, you can return the phone and no harm done. Also remember it had a little flashlight....and I will quote the vendor/attendant: "Well Sir, it will come handy when you're in a movie theater and can't see where you're going"....and I'm like...really son??
Did not really wanted one but I had just gotten promoted at work and some of my new duties required that I'd be available, so my then Supervisor "recommended" I go and get one. Later on I realized it was bound to happen for me to get one anyway.
A week after the AT&T episode, I signed up wit T-Mobile...been with them ever since.
