Dude, I had a pager until about 98, then I got a Motorola timeport 2-way.
1999, I quit fucking around and got a cell phone, 9 months later, I got a job with a cell phone company and have had the same number since October 2000.

[C. Senor]

damn i had a pager when i was a little ass kid...i was cool. lol. i still have 2 of them i think. should be in my drawer full of random crap i've kept over the years. time to bust it out..lol

[PhilthyS13]

Kids these days have it so easy with cell phones. Not only did we have to carry 3402809145 quarters (don't forget about Street Fighter II), but we had decipher the codes. I still remember it...12 = R, 17 = N, 3 = E, etc., etc. It got confusing with U, V and W - you had to guess because those were 11 or 111.

It was like using smoke signals before the invention of the telegraph. I even knew which payphones allowed incoming calls.

They were even fashion accessories, check out his pocket:

[GSXRJJordan]

Haha this thread is full of win.

I really want one of those brick phones, but only for the car - like, get out of the car, and make a call on it, and look at everyone's faces. There's no way I could get myself to actually carry it around.

[fromxtor]

Dr.s and other hospital staff still use pagers.

That wasn't a guess, I am around Dr.s at least twice a week and they all pagers.

[LongGrain]

[HyperTek]

dam kids with pagers??
my pops had one..

shit i saw some lil 8 year old kid in front of my house pop out a cell phone.. geeez lol

[ravinaziankid]

Yeah they still use pagers for some off reason..i guess to save time from talking and all that complication. Plus to save money for buying all the doctors new blackberry phones with the full service and all. Hospitals have budgets too..

[fromxtor]

I pretty much had this only with the usa olympic cover on it:

So retarded now that I think about it.

But everywhere I look these days I see like kids in elementary with cell phones and shit.

Crazy.

Lol I remeber after the matrix came out we used to "matrix call payphones when people would walk by" Funny shit to see people looking around confused when you were like " neo, theres not much time". Good old days before cars, girls, work and shit.
