Remember when a cell phone was selling for a few thousands $
Now we have them free with a contract.
Now it is the PC free with a contract of an ISP provider or with the purchase of a new matress.
Believe it or not.
How can they make it?

In the 1990's cellwhere selling in the thousands and the only ones that could afford them them for a good use were real estates agents business people and the likes.
If you owned a cell at the time it was because you were important in your field.

Today I encourage every child to have one to stay in touch with their parents and cops.

I had a cell phone in the early 90s and I was a college student with a part time job. I had one of those old Motorola brick phones with the rubber ducky antenna.
