[@stansmith4054]

Are the vintage ones worth anything today?

[@stevan4350]

[@brianpatrickofficial]

I’m trying to find a cellphone from 1987 to use as my phone. Will they still work in this generation?

[@sonofsolo69]

these phones are for use on analogue networks where as everyone uses digital now, they won’t work “out the box” that’s for sure

Mobira Cityman 100 for sale?

[@stuartwalton-wr7mx]

I'd love to buy a smaller 80s mobile phone but I don't know if they'll work in 2024 😔

[@sonofsolo69]

An 80’s analogue definitely won’t work but you shouldn’t have any problems with a 90’s digital one, the battery will always be it’s weak point though

[@kevinfelix2543]

did any of the brick phones have redial

[@stansmith4054]

My old bag phone did.

[@stansmith4054]

Ya, I think it was optional on some of the pre 1985 models. It became more common on 1987 and beyond. I was still able to use my analog bag phone up until about 2001. Here in the US anyway you could still buy phone prepaid cards for these until about 2001.

@@stansmith4054 thanks for the follow up , I’m using a fat phone in a film script I’m writing and I was like I need to be sure if I said she hit redial that the phone actually has redial otherwise wise that’s kind of a Continuity and Historicalproblem🤣
