Now there's some 'member berries

[-] 3FingersOfMilk@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago

'memeber sharing ringtones with your friends via Bluetooth?

[-] RagingHungryPanda@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, and giving each person their own ringtone

Many ringtones were basically memes in audio format. Like arnold shwarzeneger talking or akon and lil wayne lyrics. MIKE JONES!

[-] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 2 points 2 years ago

218-330-8004.

Remember when snake was the best mobile game. lol.

[-] 3FingersOfMilk@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Anyone else assign someone the ringtone "silent" ?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

You can still do that on Android.
You know, if you wanted to.

[-] KiofKi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Can't remember the last time I heard a ringtone. Don't even know what ringtone I have. The world has turned awfully quiet in that regard.

[-] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

That 8 bit tone of Sweet Child O Mine

This thread has two different layers of feeling old

Unlimited mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends. 500 minutes per month. Good times.

[-] outdated_belated@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh shit, I forgot they used to do unlimited minutes only to the same carrier, so long-distance gf and I had to coordinate our carrier choices

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

I only had 200 minutes, but it was 30 bucks, so I couldnt complain.

[-] Rediphile@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

After inflation that's like $700 today though.

[-] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I still live like I have limited minutes, and can honestly say I don't think I've used more than maybe...20 minutes a month? Maybe less. I just checked my last 3 bills, and t-mobile doesn't list minutes anymore.

[-] EddieTee77@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

I remember when some friends had unlimited inbound calls. I'd get texts to say call me so they wouldn't have to pay for minutes lol

[-] painfulasterisk@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I had contacts that called, let the phone ring once or twice in order to ensure a missed call on my end, end the call and wait for me to return the call.

[-] fixmbr@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

I remember having unlimited texts in the evenings and weekends. It used to pop off after 7pm

[-] Encromion@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

Hot damn look at that sidekick. What a perfect machine right there. So good the team got hired by Google to port their Hip OS and turn it into Android.

[-] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

The Sidekick is still my all-time favorite phone. I bought the first Android phone, the g1, solely because of the Danger team being involved in it's development. I still use an Android phone but it's never been as exciting as that Sidekick was.

[-] outdated_belated@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Oh is that why the first android phone was so good? I had a developer edition of that and it slapped. Keyboard was amazing

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I remember waiting until 9:01 just so those bastards couldn’t try to charge me shit

[-] rostby@lemmy.fmhy.net 11 points 2 years ago

Kanye South

[-] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I had one of those Sidekicks!

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Same! I loved it. Flip flip flip.
Did you know it had a video out jack on it? You could plug it into your TV and watch YouTube! Lol

[-] Steak@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

No way that's wild

[-] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Wait what kind of Jack? HDMI wasn’t out then right?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Correct. You could plug a yellow video cord into it. Like how you'd hook up a camcorder to your tv

[-] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Did that carry audio?

You’re talking rca right? So did you get audio through the phone?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I think, and mind you how long ago this was, but I think it was either mono or maybe just the phones speaker. I only tried it once so I'm not really sure on that.

[-] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

You guys remember bag phones

[-] SirBwennan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My parents have told me...
