Having to wait til 9pm to call people was a crazy time in America

[Stick Up Kid]

I grew up in an era with no cells and phones

This one of the top 10 worst joints I ever heard but I fukk with the concept cause I had a i870 back in the day

 

[shutterguy]

Thought I was balling with this joint back in the day, flip down mic, multi-line backlit display, thumbwheel scroll for menus and contacts on the side. Belt holster so cats knew what it was when they seen it. You couldn't tell me shyt!!!

It was an era. A nasty era

That Nextel/Boost Mobile chirp was for the elites

Classic commercial

Pagers, 2-Ways, Chirps, to Free nights and weekends.

I lived through them all. These companies used to rape us. Accidently end up with a $500 bill

I thought I was the shyt when paid a little extra to have my nights start at 6PM!

 

[richaveli83]

The real robbery in that era was paying per text message. That shyt was abuse

It was but it actually forced us to have conversations with each other instead of texts.

I worked Customer Service at Verizon. This old man (60) comes into pay his daughters(35) cell phone bill

She fukked around ordered a bunch of ringtones and music. Bill was close to 1300.

Old man was heated. I used to get a kick out of situations like that. Seen people throw shyt, scream, and talk shyt once they leave the store

The good thing, you can make notes on their account, and ban them from the store.

Verizon, Sprint, Nextel , ATT. They were all eating REALLY good before unlimited data and calls came around

I worked for Sprint in a call center and I remember those calls from parents, grandparents, etc calling in PISSED because their bills rang up with those ringtones, music, games, etc!

Boy what a time.....and as long ago as it seems. I still remember before all that. Regular LAN lines, calling cards, long distance calling,. I remember how we were like cavemen looking at fire when "*69" and "Caller ID" hit the hood.

 

[Sukairain]

I remember waiting until the unrestricted hours started to download games and music

T-Mobile Top 5

 

[Him]

Surprised they didn’t keep that up. Imagine how much they would finesse now if Snapchat had fees to send text.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

T-Mobile Top 5

"who you got in your top 5?"

"my mom, pop, bro, cuz...and you"


"really?! "
