My first cell phone was back in 1990 from a company called Magnavox. This phone was so ancient that I couldn't even find a picture of it on Google 😏
Back then you had to pay for receiving and sending calls.. it was really expensive but I thought I was so cool having my own mobile cell phone 😎
I can imagine it even being more a 'luxury' item in the carribean than it was in Europe, must've cost you a fortune and not just the phone, but also the usage.
