cmh_sprint Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 i remember ignoring calls then head to a pay phone to see what they wanted.. i did the same thing. I remember having my first bagphone, cruising around in my CRX thinking I was big pimpin'. The days of having to put the antenae on the roof of your car to get a signal.

ScubaCinci Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I remember my friend had one of those big white Motorola brick phones for work. He was terrified to use it because of how much calls cost. I kept egging him on to use it because I wanted to see it work. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 they didn't cost that much. I remember going to the store with my friend's dad and he bought one that you carry around in a bag. and he was a tight ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSB67 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Had both those, as my dad worked in cellular since way back when. The cool thing about the bag phone was putting it in the golf bag. Then you put it in the car and screwed in the antenna. Remember when people put the fake antennas on their cars to look cool? Then I remember walking around with that flip phone in my back pocket. People didn't even know what the hell it was. There was actually a slim battery that lasted about 15 minutes, that one pictured maybe an hour.IIRC another advantage of the bag phone was the FCC defined it differently and it could transmit at a full watt while the handhelds can only do 0.6 or something like that.
