If you go back even earlier, you couldn't even call outside your geographic region. Nationwide calling was a big deal!

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.

Times were tough. I lost friendships over making a call when minutes were tight.

Uh no, we lived in a first world country thank you very much.
