Where and how did you grow up that you had a cell phone at age 14 in 1998?


My first cell was when I started driving in 2001, so someone having one 3 years prior isn't too far fetched. I'm betting it was a clunky block looking Motorola brick

I got my first cell phone in 2000 and I just remember that it felt really small in my hand but the antennae was like 3 feet long.

A 14 year old having one three years prior? And using the term "we" to imply many of his peers had them? That's what isn't adding up for me.

That came later on. My parents each had a Fujitsu F80P they got from Macy's in the mid 90s.
