i got lucky we lived in the east bay area where there was a lot of tech

i had DSL in 1997

sucked when on vacation having to use dialup again

oh ok, so you were in the valley adjacent

even in a high tech area in 2001 the phone did not work a lot of places

norcal

there was a time where you could easily drive out of phone service range

I got mobile late too

I didn't fry my brain until high school

And only learned to recover starting around 2017

my first few phones all had digital/analog too

i liked forcing my phone into analog only

battery drainer

Got my first phone after my confirmation lol

also you will hear radio static when you get too far from the tower

I remember the early days online. I started browsing 4chan cause I was looking for anime pictures to print out on my grandma's computer and put up on my wall with thumbtacks

analog got shut off in 2006 i think

now the original CDMA 1X voice is going away

lasted 20 years iirc

the first ones launched in 1999

verizon is killing off all CDMA 1x in december

Edge ded

so if you have verizon and a phone too old for VoLTE they will be contacting you eventually

i think EDGE is still around some places

AT&T turned off their 2G GSM service almost everywhere

t mobile too

Sprint says no more 3G CDMA only phones now too

but they didn't say voice

so sprint is turning off their CDMA data network first

since they don't have VoLTE rolled out

How long until 5G activates the root mutants?

@Deleted User buck the root

Which is then gonna evolve into 6G that will literally summon demons

is eywttts still making videos

BREAK THE CONDITIONING

I hope he is

I drank some olive oil mixed with chicken broth

Not wearing pants is hard to do tho

I also now have fluoride free toothpaste
