I've never actually owned a mobile phone, although my wife gave me her old cast-off Nokia 1100 while I was in hospital following a wee heart attack a few years ago. Since then it's gone back in the 'kitchen drawer'.
However, I came across this Telecom one a few years ago and I had to have it just for its neat, chunky looks.
The battery is completely banjaxed, but applying volts to the contacts wakes the phone up enough for it to report 'NO SERVICE'. I think it's from the late 80's.
