First phone was seen in the back seat of a taxi cab at oju ore in ota. The phone started ringing and confusion struck as we didnt even know what to press to receive the call,kept pressing rubbish as the call was incessant. (presumably from the owner) Eventually the battery was exhausted and the owner never got it back. Sheer ignorance. Then mum bought me motorola in 2006 for 20k and a glo sim for 250. lol |

I bougth my Nokia 3310 at the rate of N18,000 and the sim for N6,000.I can remember vividly that i made a lot of money back then in 2002. I was regulating the price at which i make to my customers. Funny enough some customers would receive call with my phone they will still pay me N20. |

Phone - Sony Ericsson T100 for #13,500 Sim - MTN for #13,000, still remember the number 08035028750. I think one Egbira woman is using it now. The phone would ve been stolen the day I bought it if not that I removed it from the box and put in my pocket, the box was snatched in computer village ikeja on 15th December 2002. The thief only made away with the box, charger and manual. |

I bought my 1st phone (Bird series) for N8500 and the sim for N1500 in Feb, 2005. I almost lost the phone same day and I remembered telling my roommates that my younger sister and I blackmailed our parents we were not going back to school without a phone so they had to buy us our phones that morning. |
Re: How Much Did You Buy Your First Phone And Sim? by LordReed(m): 5:11pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
valuka: Going back the memory lane, we really spent more for less. Guy take am easy it was not that expensive in those years (2002-2003). MTN sim was about 15k I bought mine for 10k because of a promo. Even the Nokia 1100 you mentioned was not that expensive either. |
Re: How Much Did You Buy Your First Phone And Sim? by yuzedo: 5:13pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
