What the hell is Callzone?

Dear internet user,

In the early 1990s, we had a mini revolution. It was the time of the pagers and the first handphones. Those brick shaped ones that you will see on Channel 8 re-runs some late nights. What was the revolution? It was the introduction of the Callzone phones.

A slim, light weight, black, with a green rubber trimming (excuse) for a phone that can only be used within 'zones'. And you will see the privilege few carry this prized item and using them like it was the coolest thing around. And... usually, the Callzone areas have a row of coin phones nearby. But no, you have to be on the Callzone phones.

I don't remember being able to receive calls on them and my uncle had one. It was seriously one for the cool kid.

See external post here. You can see the graphic signage of the CallZone... er zone.

And check out the reminisce on Hardware Zones's forum.

Thank you for your time,

The Days crew
