Back in the mid 80s when we first got cellular service in Hong Kong, a 3 month subscription (didn't even include any airtime minutes) equals more or less the cost of the water bottle brick phone.
When the turtle flip phone came out I remember a lot of business people kept a shit load of spare batteries in the glovebox.
