i got my 1st phone when i was 11!Which is now!

I think I was 13 or 14.

I am assuming you mean mobile and I was 40.

I think I was 15.

8 years ago when I was 43. It was a brick! The first 'mobile' phone I ever saw was around 16 years ago and it was owned by a business man and it was carried around in a briefcase!

If you mean mobile, when I was 28 and got one with a new job.

If you mean Landline -  when I was 16 - I grew up a rural part of Ireland and our attitude was why would you need a phone at home, when there was a phone box only a mile away!  Think about that !

I know people here who still think like that .. .  

I was in my early 30's  . . and who would have guessed that we would shrink that phone on the wall to the size of a matchbow, rip it from the wall and carry it in our pockets, then be prepared to pay STD call rates for every call!! . .  ( eh. . I have seen man walk on the moon so not much shocks me any more)    

I think I was 14 or 15. I never wanted one. My mum just gave it to me.

Just how many important calls do you need to make aged between 11 and 15? Was the receptionist not passing on information about all your meetings?

Our receptionist was a b****... she asked several questions before we could call someone, and only if it was EXTREMELY urgent.

I still haven't got a mobile phone

oh soz i mean mobile!

I bought one in 1989, it was portable, not mobile.

It came in a carry bag about have the size of  laptop case. I did a lot of country driving so was useful. I even used it to call an ambulance at a car crash in a remote area. It could have saved someone's life that day. I'll never know as i didn't follow up on the victim. He was alive when the ambulance drove off.

The battery in the phone lasted about 30 minutes talk time, but it also had a car 12V socket for the ciggy lighter to power or recharge it.

lol i see why you did this Q. i got my first one when i was about 11....
