Remember When, Your 1st Cell (Bag) Phone
Can you remember back to your 1st wireless or cellular phone.....

I got my first cell service through Verizon and they swore I would have coverage.
This was right around the time pagers were coming to an end and cells were taking over.
Well, I couldn't use the phone from home, or about anywhere else I needed it, so I picked up the Motorola bag phone exactly like your pic and things were a lot better (UNTIL I got my first bill for 350 bucks because every call I made was a roaming call)
I went round and round with Verizon over the fact they sold me a cell phone on a contract that I couldn't use because the service was too bad in my area, and wanted to charge me the fee for getting out of the contract.
All they would do was give me free minutes that I couldn't use anyway.
I got a different service that did have some coverage and swore Verizon was out of my life forever.
The new service worked better and better as the years passed and then Verizon bought them out.
I started to cancel that service and Verizon called and asked if there was anything they could do to keep me and I told them they could pay back everything I ever paid them before and I would consider it.
Nope.
In the end I ended up back on Verizon anyway.:soapbox:
