    My dad has only ever had a flip phone. Do you remember how hard it is to text with one of those? Almost as hard as a TV remote!

    I've never tried to text with my TV remote......I'll take your word for it....

    When I had a flip phone and someone texted me, I called them back to answer. I wasn't about to mash 87 times to answer 3 words...

    Years ago, before unlimited cell phone plans, my dad sent his first text message to me via the old T9 method. His message said, "I think I'm texting". I replied with, "You know those may cost you 10 cents each". Never got another text from him...ever.

    I remember some parents finding out their kids had been texting with high 3 digit near 4 digit bills when they received them. I clearly remember one parent at work stating their texting costs were near .25¢ a letter. Crazy time for sure.

    I installed cellphones in cars when airtime was $4.50 a minute if you went over your 30-minute allotment. The contracts were $300 plus a month, and the Motorola installed carphones were $1299.00 plus installation. Of course, the only ones that could afford that bill were celebs and the ultra-wealthy. But if you worked for the company, your phone, and the minutes were free. That was good for impressing the ladies when you reached in your pocket for that brick phone... They thought you were rich and packin'...

    I remember my first cell phone (‘95?) - I had a $100/month plan for 60 minutes. Man, I was calling everyone and anyone at the end of the month to use up that airtime…
