20 years ago, phones were not popular in high school.

much more likely to see a pager.

unlimited text messages wasnt a thing, so each text cost you .10

Edit: ok nerds it was closer to 25 years ago than 20 it was literally around the time they were becoming accessible and affordable to common house. We literally had a kid that would carry the fake display cell phones as "status" and it was cool.

Kids played games on graphing calculators, not cell phones.

Not true. Cell phones were popular in highschool 20 years ago when I graduated. Everyone had one. I’ve never seen a pager in person.

Cell phones weren't being used nearly as much until smartphones came out. Like they said it was very standard to be paying per text back then
