Way before cell phones became a common and needed piece of apparell. I was gifted a car phone. I renamed it my bag phone. It was a cool thing to have back in 1991. Just plug it into your cigarette lighter(accessory jack, today) or have the complete mobility with the internal battery, which by the way was 90% of the bag.
It was a cool thing to have? I have a car phone.... As a Realtor, I looked important. Lawyers had them so should we. We need them to stay "in touch". Problem was, who was I going to call? Home? From the driveway?(coverage wasn't that good back in 1991) and at 50 cents a minute if your not roaming? $$$$$$$$$$$$
Since then I've had many phones, each smaller than the previous and with more features that I can ever use but they'll never beat the rugged look of the grandaddy Bagphone. Look at that flexible antenna! The lit up large key pad. Priceless.
Thanks for listening and today that costs nothing.
