Cell phones in 1998?

Hawaii!!!

Didn’t they tunnel, quantifying efficacy and the conditions at Chernobyl?

Yes. They had cellular phones then. Some people still had pagers, as well. I believe I had my second mobile phone in ‘98. It was a Nokia and it wasn’t any larger than phones today (unlike the big Motorola I had as my first cell).

I had my first cell phone in ‘99, and I used a pager for a couple years prior to that.

Thanks for editing your question, now my first response looks like I’m going bonkers

Yep. I had a Nokia in 1999 comparable in size to my phone now. Most phones back around that time were just a block of phone for most people. Not very many flip phones and no sliding. And almost no color displays. Unles you were paying out the ass for four colors. :P

I had a cell phone in 1998, it was huge.

I got my first cell in 1994. By 1998, they were quite common and not too expensive. At that time I also had a Nokia. I think the Motorola StarTak was the “it” phone for people with money at that time.

I had cell phone in 1998….it was about 2 inches thick and longer than my hand. I called it the chunky monkey.

I also had a pager——that I just finally got rid of about 3 months ago.
I know, I know

I finally got a decent flip phone about a year ago….

My mom and dad had cell phones then. Then were a bit smaller than a cordless phone (smaller on either end and thinner). But not a lot smaller.
