Ha ha I have my first NEC Bag phone from Cellular One as well as every
single cell phone after that was replaced or upgraded by me in the attic or
cellar or in the house. You think that is strange my wife and I collect
Teddy Bears and we have thousands of them over the last 20 years. There is
no space for humans in our place since the stuffed animals are taking
over...! We are looking for a larger home, ha ha

Old things are fun to keep around and take apart. Old phones can even make
fun toys for kids. Toddlers can feel like they have real cell phones of
their own without adding to your cell phone bill (this works until they see
the nice new phones that Mommy and Daddy have ).
