Nokia 3210 with a tweety pie cover
My first phone was an old landline phone that I installed the innards of into cardboard box to make a portable phone that could be clipped onto the extension wiring of my schools PBX phone system that I looked after. This was back in the late 1960's early 70s!
A Motorola M3288, i was soooo cool!! It took two hands to hold it up to your ear 😂 the only number I had was my home landline..
I can't remember what make my first phone was but the sim card in it was full credit card sized - it went into a slot on the bottom of the phone 😃
Alcatel One Touch Easy! It was given to me by my late uncle in the 90s. I was 13 and the first one of my friends to have a mobile phone. Everyone thought those things were completely unnecessary for a teenager. What would I even need it for? Little did they know...
I had a Nokia 3110. You could throw it against a wall and it would just bounce, they were indestructible! Snake was the best.
It was a Nokia 5110 back in 1999 - cracker of a phone!
My first phone that I got for Christmas was an iPhone 5s. My parents played a prank on me before I got it, the took the box of my dads iPhone 4s and filled it with socks and wrapped it up. They hinted that they had got it me all of Christmas Eve, and then handed me the box. Being 13 at the time I got all excited and couldn't wait to open it, I unwrapped it I lost it, jumping around everywhere saying thank you constantly, and then I opened the box for socks to fall out and my parents were in hysterics while I went all red faced and annoyed. During Christmas day they placed the iPhone 5s in a shoe box so that I couldn't try and find the phone, leading me to believe that they didn't get me a phone. But when it came to the shoes they had bought me it and I still laugh about it to this day every Christmas!😂
My first mobile phone was the Motorola 350. I thought it was the bees knees. It had a 3cm x 2cm screen, but the thing was that it was a coloured screen. All my friends were dead jealous! I still have it, I can't bear to throw it away. It has a few missing buttons now but it's sentimental to me.
The first phone I remember was a Nokia 3210 but I’m sure I had some sort of metal phone before that - can’t remember the make.
I still remember using a free phone I got with my contract with free minutes to get my parents online via dial up.

Got my Siemens a55 on my 11th birthday back in 2004 from Dixon's in fishergate preston on t-mobile when phones used to come with free £10 credit to get you going
Yes I remember it well, back in the early nineties I received a Motorola, bigger than a large mars bar, it made calls and nothing else lol.
A Motorola Razr!
My 1st phone was a GPO CREAM BAKELITE PHONE.no press buttons..no text..no face book or Twitter etc.No they weren't very smart. All you could do was speak on it. The only free calls were to Emergency services on 999. Oh how my life has changed in 60 yrs.
