wow, they had cell phones back in 1995 ?!!

[allgood2000]

@jklfds85 They had them before that, but they were huge.

The busy message on the cellphone sounds like it might be played by the narrator.

[allgood2000]

@1RadicalOne My parents used to have a mobile phone like that; it played the same message when the person didn't answer.

didnt she have voice mail on her cell phone? While being on a transplant waiting list, that cell phone is her life line! True shit happens, but at least people cared enough to help. *** To the cops... "To serve and protect" -Good job boys! Thumbs up!

[allgood2000]

I don't think car phones had voicemail back then. My parents had one like that back in the day, and it didn't have voicemail.

@Nicole4ever74 lol thats the early 90s for you, im sorry to say i had a pair myself.

[zzzzdreamzzz]

@allgood2000 ours didn't, i think all it did was display the number, but that didn't always work either sometimes ppl would say they called and we didn't have a clue. curse those things im so glad technology has improved.

[1RadicalOne]

I see...does the narrator/host do that sort of thing for a living?

[pcross84]

That answering machine looks like it might also be from the episode where that one lady from the phone research center calls the one guy and the outgoing message is a suicide threat.

they were hot back in the day
