No, you had night and weekend minutes. You had a package of texts like 300, 500, 1000, and texts over the limit cost something ridiculous like 15 cents or something.

If you go back even earlier, you couldn’t even call outside your grographic region. Nationwide calling was a big deal!

Uh no, we lived in a first world country thank you very much.

Times were tough. I lost friendships over making a call when minutes were tight.
