Oh man. I have a nostalgia for old cellphones like the Nokia or flip phones, but not the cell plans. There was initially no internet, but when it showed up it was super limited data. Limited texts. Limited minutes. But you could get free texts and calls after a certain time of day, like 5 or 6 in the evening. Plans were expensive. If you went over your allotment of texts it was a ridiculous fee like 25¢ or 50¢ a text. Same for call minutes. You were constantly clock and usage watching. I got one bill for almost $500. Ouch.
