In the US, not really. Even if the phone itself was cheap, the plans were high. We moved my last year of highschool and my mom got a phone for me to keep in the car. It was only to call 911 for emergencies because the cost per minute was crazy.

in the EU short messages were still free of any charge at that time. nokia started booming. life was good in the EU and plans were affordable.
