I remember having one of these in 1989, I got it as I was a site supervisor on a fire loss. Back then it was real cool to have one. I think it was about $1.50 per minute as well. Had the Motorola Dynatac 8000x
I had the bag phone.
Actually worked really good

same here. XJ2-6853 Edmonton. was fun to sit and listen to one-sided conversations while parked out in the middle of nowhere AB. then we went to the Aurora, then the bag phones came out. I bought and put one in my KW, it worked way better than the Aurora. we then put bag phones in all the KW's. they finally shut down the analogue service a few years ago. I still have all my old analogue phones, from the Motorola brick. I also had a cell phone scanner that could pick up analogue cell phones, that was another source of entertainment. lots of interesting conversations.I used to have the old XJ mobile phones with AGT years before we got the new smaller bag phones.
what's a bag phone?
Hahaha...........I don't remember my first cell phones but I do recall a big black box with a huge antenna. I still have this little baby tucked away for whatever reason............I know this flip phone isn't that old but it is something we don't see much anymore. The question wasn't answered; what is a bag phone?I was waiting for that, or fernie telling us about his first tin can to string phone...lol sorry it was just to easy.
