Xiao Fei did not respond to the female boss's words, his eyes were fixed on a Nokia mobile phone in the cabinet.

Nokia 2110i, priced at 3580 yuan.

That's a lot of money.

At this time, many people can't buy a mobile phone for a year without eating or drinking.

In the future, this money can already buy a flagship high-end smartphone of a well-known brand.

Xiao Fei knows that this Nokia 2110 is a classic model of Nokia, and when it was newly launched in 1994, it was sold for as high as 700 pounds in Europe, which is staggeringly expensive even in wealthy Europe.

Two years later, it can fall to 3,580 yuan, and the price decline is still very fast.

"Take this phone out and show it to me." Xiao Fei pointed to the Nokia 2110i and said.

The landlady took out the mobile phone from the glass display case and put it on the counter, which was not a real machine, but a model. Xiao Fei glanced at it and said, "Can you see the real machine?" ”

The female boss hesitated: "Do you really want to buy it?" ”

"Of course." Xiao Fei said.

"Be careful when you look at it, the machine is too expensive, and it's troublesome to break it." The female boss took out a box containing a mobile phone from it and babbled and explained.

Xiao Fei glanced at it, and the box was sealed.

"Can you open it and take a look?" Xiao Fei asked again.

"If you open it, you have to buy it." The landlady said.

Xiao Fei didn't ask anymore, scratched the sealing film with his fingernails, and opened the box, revealing the styrofoam in the box.

"Hey! Why don't you open it without saying a word, and if you don't buy it, how can I still sell it to someone else? The landlady yelled.

Xiao Feihun smiled indifferently: "I'll buy it, isn't it okay?" ”

As he spoke, he skillfully took out the phone in the box, put on the battery, and turned it on.

A familiar boot bell rang in my ears, this one from the Spanish musician Francisco. One of Tarrega's guitar pieces, "Gra Girl Als". Since the advent of the Nokia 2110, this classic ringtone has become a Nokia iconic ringtone for more than two decades, and is called "Nokia hip e".

Xiao Fei once read a source: by 1998, this bell would ring 1.8 billion times a day around the world.

And this Nokia 2110 after its launch. In a short period of time, more than 20 million units were sold worldwide, becoming Nokia's first iconic product to dominate the world.

The female boss was very surprised to see Xiao Fei's skillful movements.

"Have you used a cell phone before?" She asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Xiao Fei responded casually, looking at this mobile phone, its function is very simple. You can also make calls, but there is already a text messaging function in this phone.

But the SMS system is in English and is not noticed by the user.

It wasn't until 1997 that domestic mobile carriers began to try to open SMS services. It was not until the end of 2000 that China Mobile began to promote mobile phone text messages on a large scale.

The question Xiao Fei is thinking about now is: Since this mobile phone has an English text message function, can it be used now?

You know, the current operators have not launched SMS services.

In 1996, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was still responsible for the mobile phone business.

Postal and telecommunications have not yet separated.

The mobile business in China has just begun to enter a period of rapid development. But the market is still relatively chaotic at the moment.

"Boss, get me two of these phones, by the way, can I get into the network now?" Xiao Fei took out his wallet from his body and opened it.

"What? Are you going to buy two at the same time? The female boss stared at Xiao Fei's bulging wallet.

She felt like she was still a little blindsided. She never imagined that this boy had so much cash with him that he would have to buy two mobile phones at a time.

"That's right!" Xiao Fei nodded.

"Now I can apply for network access, after I put the mobile phone card into the mobile phone, I will make a phone call to notify the relevant personnel of the post and telecommunications bureau, and it can be opened." The landlady said enthusiastically. "However, after opening, you need to go to the post and telecommunications bureau to go through the procedures for paying the phone bill, and then you can use the mobile phone normally."

Sell two phones at once. It's a big deal. I can't help but feel that the female boss is not excited.

"Can you pay the phone bill here?" Xiao Fei asked again.

At this time, those who can open a communication store in Heyang County must have a way in the post and telecommunications bureau, and it doesn't matter that such a store can't be opened.

"Yes, I can help you open a payment account, and you can also fix the payment with me in the future, it's all okay." The female boss became more and more enthusiastic.

Xiao Fei paid immediately. I bought two mobile phones, went through the network access procedures, and paid the phone bill.

The female boss is also very quick, grabbed the landline phone and started making calls.

After making the call, she told Xiao Fei that it would be available in an hour at the latest.

Xiao Fei installed the batteries and phone cards on the two mobile phones, turned them on, casually put them in his pocket, and walked out of the store.

He found a restaurant and had a casual meal, then walked slowly back to school.

After returning to the dormitory, he took out two mobile phones and looked at them, and as a result, he found that he was connected to the Internet, but the signal was really weak.

Xiao Fei used one mobile phone to send English text messages to another.

Only the last four digits of the two mobile phone numbers he chose were different, which was considered a couple number.

He's going to experiment to see if he can send and receive text messages.

The results of the experiment show that text messages can be sent and received successfully!

Xiao Fei felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he could communicate with Xu Fengjuan in the form of mobile phone text messages in the future.

He rushed out the door with his phone.

At this time, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Because there is a weekly exam the next day, many students choose to recuperate and rest overnight, so there are few students sitting in the classroom.

Xiao Fei met Xia Zhe and Yin Jing downstairs and went back to the bedroom together.

He stopped them and asked them to help go to the classroom and call Xu Fengjuan.

"We can help you call someone, but shouldn't you say that too? For example, if you publish a book, we will each give one of us a copy or something. Xia Zhe put forward the conditions of the exchange.

"No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Xiao Fei was full of promises.

"I want you to autograph it too." Xia Zhe said again.

"Okay, it's not a big deal." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

After getting Xiao Fei's promise, Xia Zhe turned around and ran upstairs very quickly, and couldn't help but pull down Xu Fengjuan, who was studying by herself.

"I brought it to you, don't forget your promise!" Xia Zhe waved his fist at Xiao Fei, took Yin Jing's hand and left.

"What's the matter with me?" Xu Fengjuan looked at Xiao Fei a little shyly.

"Let's go to the playground." Xiao Fei walked to the gate of the playground not far away.

Xu Fengjuan hesitated, but still walked behind.

The two came to the football field and stood still, Xiao Fei handed a small and delicate mobile phone to Xu Fengjuan and said, "I'll give you a gadget." ”

"What is this?" The light on the playground was a little dim, Xu Fengjuan took the phone, but she didn't know what it was.

"Cell phone." Xiao Fei said.

"Cell phone?" Xu Fengjuan was a little dazed.

She has no concept of "mobile phone" in her mind now, and people at this time, when it comes to mobile phones, they still habitually call it Big Brother.

This is the far-reaching impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

"It's a mobile phone...... Xiao Fei explained slowly, teaching her how to use her mobile phone and how to send and receive text messages.

Xu Fengjuan is a very smart girl, she can learn as soon as she learns.

"In the future, when you want to say something to me, you can call me or text me." Xiao Fei said.

"yes, I see." Xu Fengjuan said tightly holding her mobile phone. It was the first time she had come into contact with such a novel electronic product, so she naturally liked it very much.

"Do you remember my number?" Xiao Fei asked again.

"I remember......" she repeated his phone number, ten numbers, she remembered very clearly.

Yes, the mobile phone number at this time was still a ten-digit number, and it would not be upgraded to 11 digits until 1999, and it was continued to be used until before Xiao Fei's rebirth. (To be continued.) )
