The question came to me after I saw a tweet on Johnny Schilleref's profile. Was Underworld Element well known back in the days maybe ?

It depends really. Some will give you the number of the caller, some will allow for text as well. You do call and leave a message which could be just numbers or voicemail. Alternatively you can use email. They are actually pretty handy in some circumstances, the ones we use at work give us a good control system on busy days and they are obviously still handy in hospitals. Really crap for personal use though i feel.

I had one when I was like 17 I think. My friends and I used to page each other and spell boobies. We're cool.

My cousin had one in 1994 for all of his girlfriends. I've never had one; I was always technologically behind, I didn't have a cell phone until 2002. I only recently got text on my phone.

I got my first cell phone in November 2008.

Yeah indeed, but it was actually the teacher of accounting/economics that did it.
