after i was 20, about 2 years ago? it was a tracfone with a one-year thing and a nokia 5150 for $110 or so for 550 or so minutes all year round.

yeah i had extra minutes left too. i guess im not much of a phone person.
 
It was quite awhile ago. I had one of the original motorola flip phones. Probably the same thing as what loki8481 had.

I switched to PrimeCo after that. PrimeCo is what Verizon used to be. I had one of their very first phones and plans.
 
I had a motorola phone. Battery sucked completely, though (literally would die in minutes of use). I got that when I was in high school (don't remember which year, but probably around sophomore year). Now I have another pretty basic Siemens phone. It works, the battery lasts a good long time, and that's all I care about (I just use the phone for calls, that's it).

Sony cell phone with scroll wheely thing.
 
21... I didn't need it, bought it off my brother as a favor because he had a 1 year contract and didn't want it anymore. This was in 2003.
 
Probably 8 or so. Always had one in elementary school to call my parents in case of emergency and such. Never got used much.
