Remember back in the day when there were multiple different cellphone manufacturers and each came with their own charging cables? Man those were the days! Can you recall the very first cellphone you owned? Mine was a Samsung Glide, I got back in 2011. I didn’t have a cellphone until I got my first job and I was 20 years old. I wanted a Motorola Razr phone in high school but my parents couldn’t afford it. I used that Glide until 2013, when I got my first smart phone which was a Galaxy S2.

This one takes me back. I remember very well the first cellphone I owned; it was the first time my parents allowed me to have a phone, and that was because I had gone into secondary school, and the school was quite a distance from home for me.

I can’t remember the model I had, but it was a Motorola. It was similar to the one in the image.

That was a heart touching post. I remember owning a Nokia 3310. Around the year 2004 or 2005, it was the very first phone that I owned at that time. It was a really great phone. I have also owned a Nokia 6600 as well. It is so sad to see that these phones have now become a thing of the past.

Mine was the Motorola C520! 😂 I always knew when I was about to get a text or call because the stereo speakers would start making that weird interference noise before my phone even went off! 🤣 Then there was making your own ringtones on the ringtone maker thingy by pressing the keys haha and spending hours playing Snake! 🐍😂 Honestly, we were easily pleased back then! Those were the days! 💕

Snake was also available on my Nokia 3310 as well. I remember playing it almost every day. I also remember playing Space Impact on my Nokia phone. It is the kind of game that I really enjoyed playing a lot. I tried to find space impact on play store, but I was not able to find a newer version of the game.

I wasn’t allowed to get one until I turned 18, and then I had to buy it myself.

I will say, before I was 18, cell phones weren’t really a big thing yet. Bag phones and pagers were still around. I remember a time when we didn’t have a landline phone, and I’d have to use a pay phone.

OMG yes, Space Impact!! 😂 I remember having a Nokia too, it was black with a little aerial sticking out the top! You could clip the covers off and change them, and get different coloured buttons too! 🤣 I used to think I had a brand-new phone every time I changed the cover haha! Between Snake, Space Impact and making our own ringtones, we were easily pleased weren't we? Those were the days! 💕

I had a Nokia for my first phone. My daughter, who was like 4 at the time, and I were going on a trip to Kentucky to visit my best friend and her 3 sons. It was kind of scary traveling on my own, but having a cell phone helped ease those fears. We paid for minutes back then as well as being out of range and roaming fees.

The first phone I owned was Motorola C117. It was the first one my parents bought for me in my name but that's not the first phone I used. It was Nokia 3310 I used first.

My first phone is Nokia 3310. Very durable phone and people call it indestructible. You can use it to play Snake and Ladder. In my home country, Nokia was the first phone we all used.
