I remember this was the "hottest" phone when I was in HS. You were a "lame" if you didn't own one of these in school.

Saw a lot of people outside of school have them as well. They were the issh.

 

[newbs24]

StarTac might have been the best phone I have ever owned. Had it as a Frosh in HS. Thing was so nice. I need to go find it and get that bad boy running again.

Back then every1 was on beepers, right before cell phones became the "norm" Back than my Mom wasnt going to be paying no monthly billfor me haha. I think beepers were $30 or $60 a year? something like that i forgot. And than beepers had the codes as well, but you never knew who the hellsent them to you haha

. You would get a meet me soon page, but unlessthey left their number afterwards you wouldnt know who sent it to you

 

[str8hood]

You already know...

Back when everyone in the hood had a Nextel...dudes would be on a 2 year plan with another network and would cop a Boost phone or throw a Boost chip on one ofthese just for the 2 way...
