Unlimited mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends. 500 minutes per month. Good times.
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
I only had 200 minutes, but it was 30 bucks, so I couldnt complain.
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.
After inflation that's like $700 today though.

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
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.
I remember having unlimited texts in the evenings and weekends. It used to pop off after 7pm
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.
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.
Oh is that why the first android phone was so good? I had a developer edition of that and it slapped. Keyboard was amazing
I remember waiting until 9:01 just so those bastards couldn’t try to charge me shit

My parents have told me...
Wait, you guys don't have 24/7 unlimited calling? Wtf
If you go back even earlier, you couldn't even call outside your geographic region. Nationwide calling was a big deal!
Long distance charges were a bitch.
No, you had night and weekend minutes. You had a package of texts like 300, 500, 1000, and texts over the limit cost something ridiculous like 15 cents or something.
Times were tough. I lost friendships over making a call when minutes were tight.
Uh no, we lived in a first world country thank you very much.
