My first phone and my current phone.
Number was 0722.
Sim card was 2,500 and calling was 30 bob per minute. Those days you dial someone and your thumb iko kwa hiyo button ya kukata simu.

Then kulikua na ujinga ya per minute ama per second billing. In per minute if the next minute starts unakatwa the thirty bob hata kama ni one second tu. The tariffs were crazy. Had a Sony Ericson T68i as my first one with a colored screen. Nilikua naonwa mimi ni birrionnaire
 
Actually, phones were very huge in the beginning, then shrunk to almost nothing. Now they're stretching again.

My first was the Nokia 3110, then Music Express (beautiful blue and sound!), a horrible 'Asha', then N70, then came Huawei's, a pretty fine Gionee and now back to Huawei to spite Drumpf.
