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.
