Old school Zack Morris cell phone

[HPLouis]

My 5th line is unused and I want one of those old school Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell type of cell phones. You know the type, the huge one.

Would it be possible to get one of these phones activated on my line?

[BrettW]

no, because they use analog signal and probably dont have an esn.


and since the analog networks are slowly being shut down it wouldnt work that well either.

a couple of years ago a dude came in with a star-tac he bought off ebay and we could'nt even activate that. It would be awesome to have the zach morris phone though.

[BrettW]

they do make clones of that phone for GSM, you could always get one and use it with a prepaid sim lol

Tha's not a bad idea. I've been scouring eBay and I can't find anything. It would be cool to be at a party and to pull one of those out and make a call..LOL

if you want to go even more old school, try something like this:

On a similar vein, I've rewired a traditional phone's handset for use as a "handsfree" headset. There are schematics floating around out there, and I think a few places sell them, too. Not quite the brick cell phones you saw on Wallstreet, but it still evokes a sense of "***, what year did I just wander into?"

lol.....at first i was like why? but busting it out at a party would be hillarious

[kayzinwillobee]

anyone remember those boost mobile hands free promo thing? It was a old school looking phone reciver that plugged into your headset jack. That thing was awesome.

Yeah, I tried to get my hands on one but never had any luck. They kept selling out the second any place got any.

Was it anything like this?

It's pretty funny to walk down the street sporting one of these! It harkens back to a simpler time, when people talked on rotory phones while walking down the street. Wait...

this rules. :headbang2
I particularly like it's handy carry handle.

[rennyn]

^^ There you go. It is a standard headset, will work with all 2.5mm jack headphone slots.

The Zack Morris phone is the Motorola Dynatech. I bought one 2 years ago. love the 7 minute battery life

[knytphal]

That ebay search for GSM brick phone absolutely ruled! I never even would have thought such a thing existed.

There is a bluetooth version of the retro headset. Saw this in a woot discussion the other day: http://www.thinkgeek.com/clearance/megadeals/8928/

Wireless = more lol
