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

Anyone else assign someone the ringtone "silent" ?

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

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.

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

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] painfulasterisk@lemmy.world 14 points 3 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 3 years ago

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.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 9 points 3 years ago (1 child)

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 point 3 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

I had one of those Sidekicks!

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (2 children)

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

No way that's wild

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

parent

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago* (1 child)

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

parent

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (1 child)

Did that carry audio?

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

parent

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 3 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.

Wait, you guys don't have 24/7 unlimited calling? Wtf

[–] eyepatchcheetah@lemmy.world 19 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child)

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.

parent

[–] MrMamiya@feddit.de 12 points 3 years ago

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.

parent

[–] hamburglar26@wilbo.tech 2 points 3 years ago

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.
