My first was this’n (still have it actually). Definitely had a few different pagers prior to that.
Edit: Oh, forgot to say how old I was… the model I got had just been released, so I would have been around 22-23 I think… possibly a little younger.

I was 30… Of course, that was back in 1984 so it was a permanent installation in my car.

That means Wootforum polls are par with the majority taken social scientist and news. Here I come to Wootforum for fun and complete nonsense. Now you have me concerned that Woot needs to get even further outside the box to create insanely off- the-charts polls.

Had a “bag phone”. It had a battery and was lugable. Used it for work. On call 24/7. Back in the early seventies.

I am of the “call after 10 pm in rates go down on the landline” age group. But my kids got phones when they were away for a week for a summer activity/camp.

30’s (33?).
One day, a young lady came up to me at work, and said, “a bunch of us are getting cell phones. If we get enough people we can get a package deal”. So I said “ok, that seems like an idea”.
So, my first cell phone turned out to be a bag phone…
My second one was a Motorola Star-Tac flip phone.
Then, I got a Palm Treo 600 with a waterproof case. It was a pretty impressive piece of kit for the time!

About 1997, when I was 40 and cell phones, were relatively new on the market.
Kids, I know this sounds like crazy talk, but back then the only thing a cell phone could do was take calls and make calls
