I had contacts that called, let the phone ring once or twice in order to ensure a missed call on my end, end the call and wait for me to return the call.
I still live like I have limited minutes, and can honestly say I don’t think I’ve used more than maybe…20 minutes a month? Maybe less. I just checked my last 3 bills, and t-mobile doesn’t list minutes anymore.
I think, and mind you how long ago this was, but I think it was either mono or maybe just the phones speaker. I only tried it once so I’m not really sure on that.
When these things existing my uncle was driving me somewhere and he had his scanner going in the car. We were able to listen in on those analog phones; crazy to think of these days with ubiquitous encryption everywhere.
Hot damn look at that sidekick. What a perfect machine right there. So good the team got hired by Google to port their Hip OS and turn it into Android.
The Sidekick is still my all-time favorite phone. I bought the first Android phone, the g1, solely because of the Danger team being involved in it’s development. I still use an Android phone but it’s never been as exciting as that Sidekick was.
No, you had night and weekend minutes. You had a package of texts like 300, 500, 1000, and texts over the limit cost something ridiculous like 15 cents or something.
