Your very first phone

[Oxygen87]

What was your very first phone, what network was it on and was it pay as you go or pay monthly?

Mine was the Sagem RC815 on Vodafone Pay as you talk (1998).
I moved to BT Cellnet (O2) with my next phone, the Philips C12.

As far as I can remember a Motorola on contract maybe 1994/5

After that a Philip's mobile may have been on orange can't remember how paid.

Then I have bought Nokia Alcatel Siemens

Mine was the Nokia 5110 (the big chunky one you could replace the facia and buttons on).  It was a PAYG with One2One, which became T-Mobile.

I always had Nokias back then until I got my first Android phone (HTC Desire S)

Motorola Timeport L7089 - 'cos it worked in Europe, UK and the USA (triband). Even had the belt clip for it, bought on contract from Genie/Cellnet shop. Even got to choose my number, still got the same number today 👍
