How old were you when you had your first mobile phone? Who was the first person you called, and who was the first person to call you?
I had my first mobile phone in 2003, when I was 31. I rang home on the landline and spoke to my father. The first call I received was from my mother within a minute from the same landline. All very exciting.
2003, age 57. I was driving limos and the company had just switched from radios to cellphones. I didn't understand why someone thought a cellphone should include a camera, but they all did.
I bought a phone for personal use. It cost $65 and it was so feeble that I couldn't hear the ring if I put it in my pocket, and there was no place to hang it except in the belt pouch that came with it, and that was so flimsy that it broke off and was lost almost immediately.
In 2003, 29 yrs old. I called my parents to give them the number. My husband probably is who first called me.

41. It came free in a new car. I didn't activate it until my daughter became licensed to drive because I had no reason for such an irritating thing. I wore a pager which is a wonderful little thing. I didn't then, nor do I now, need to be accessible 24/7. That is a crazy notion.
I was young... it had to be like 1999 or 2000 because I was still in high school. I'm sure the first calls were to the home landline- just checking it out to see how it worked. It would have been me on both lines.
Not Sure
