My first mobile was a Nokia 3410. I have just fished it out of the bureau! It was a lovely size for fitting in my pocket. It's quite heavy compared with my latest phone and was very basic. Unfortunately I had a teenage son who liked it, so it would often go missing for a day or two, and then the bills would arrive!! "Yes, Mum, I will pay you back" - 18+ years later, and I'm sure he still owes me! Perhaps I need to find the old phone bills - I guess they are in the bureau somewhere!!
Good luck everyone!

I received my 1st Mobile when i was 21 years old.
It was a present from my aunty.
It is BT Cellnet Bright Yellow Pay as you go mobile.
I still remembered it was so expensive too make a phone call.
It cost 55p per minute to call.
Even though there were no camera, no facebook, no whatsapp and no internet, but i was the happiest person in the world. As i do not have to go to the public phone booth to make a phone call ANYMORE.
What a good memory.

I had a Nokia 8110 the "banana phone" which I really liked, then later had a Nokia 8210 which was just tiny, miss the having a phone where the battery life was measured in days.
My first mobile was a Siemens C25. It was a decent phone but the bright blue plastic made it look like a toy phone.
Very large free Nokia phone from my bank for opening a student account with them. 🤞
When I was 12 I got a Nokia 630 for like 7 quid a month 👌🏻👏🏻
Nokia 3210, stayed with Nokia until smartphones emerged. Since then it’s been iPhone all the way
Back in early 90's when Orange first started I got a PAYG phone...huge Motorola with an extendable aerial (about a 12" with aerial extended) also remember the rechargeable battery you could take out and replace with 4×AA batterys (Got about 20 minutes talk time haha). Also used to cost about £15 to make a 30 minute call and was about 20p a txt haha.
Nokia 3210 on the Orange network. I composed the song ‘Blue’ by Eiffel 65 as a ringtone 😂

Can't remember what it was, some sort of slidey up phone..
A Nokia 8110 like the one in the matrix
Can anybody remember the coca cola cans where you had to collect the ring pulls for a mobile phone like Del Boys (only fools and horses) lol . Well i was the sad one that did, and a phone like a brick! Showing my age now! lol
I was a Butcher area manager and the owner got me one so I could keep in contact with him from other shops it was like the one Del Boy had in Only Fools and Horses when he was a yuppie with his filofax as well.
The hand set was bulky,heavy with about a 6inch rubber aerial, To charge the handset had to attached to a large like 12v car battery unit for seemed like 24hrs to charge 😂🤣
