What is your personal history regarding ownership and use of mobile phones?
[Thanks to Ghost of a Duke for the idea]
I tend to mostly use my work mobile these days. (Can't make personal calls on it, but there are some 'grey' areas). Whenever my personal mobile rings (which never has credit) it is invariably my mother. 😳

A crappy Samsung galaxy fame mini or something, which was only a stupid £7:50 per month after being half price for the first 6 months. Only had 600mb, 300 mins and 1000 texts but I really don't use it that much so was perfect. Moved from N.I. last October so gave the contract phone to my mum and bought a Galaxy core prime for €100 on pay as you go, easily the best phone I've ever had but still a million miles away from a top range phone.
First mobile phone: not until 2002. First smart phone: not until 2014. I was a late developer in these matters, I think.

Originally posted by Trev33My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini but I have a 32GB SD micro memory thing in it which I use for music, podcasts, audio books, and some TV series. I am reluctant to 'upgrade' to a phone which almost inevitably would be physically bigger and which might therefore ruin the line of my trousers.

First one in 1996, replaced twice. This one is a cheap prepaid, used for online banking security code SMS and car breakdown calls only. Hate the things, much prefer my real phone at home. No smartphone, I'm a dinosaur.

I have the first one I got in 2009. A flip LG something. I use it when I go off somewhere but to be honest I forget to turn it on most of the time, which may account for the fact, that unlike my partner who charges hers twice a day, I last charged mine on January 27th and I still have 2 bars on it...No wait I still have 3 bars. I gotta text someone or take a picture. Apparently mine doesn't have a chip or whatever they're called so you can get your pics processed at the pharmacy or where ever.
