Comment on Anon uses a phone book

To have a phone in '92 you’d need to either be wealthy or have it through a company for business.
My dad had a phone in 95 for work and it was an absolute brick.
As for mobile internet, that wasn’t really a thing until smartphones happened with the iPhone. Yes we had WAP and other precursors to the full internet but it was awful and nobody used it, ever. In 2007 I was a geeky nerd at uni doing Comp Sci and had a Windows Mobile PDA in a belt holster, with full internet! But most people didn’t have Internet until about 2009-10
