You had to be rich in the 80's to buy a cell phone in a suitcase...lol 😆.

In 1980 the weekday rate for a call across the US was 54 cents for the first minute, 38 cents for each following minute or fraction thereof. That's for weekday calls that start between 8 AM and 5 PM — 35% cheaper in the evening, and 60% cheaper 11 PM to 8 AM.
