Yep in From 89-90 I worked for Radio Shack and we sold the "tank" phone as I called it. That thing weighed about 10 pounds and two huge batteries and cost about $1500. The service was about $50 a month but you got no free minutes. Every minute was around 35 cents so it could add up really fast.

The best day sales I ever had there was when a guy who owned a construction company bought one of those phones from me then about a week later he came back and bought 10 more for all his foremen. An average sales day at my store was to do around $400-$600 a day in sales per sales person. That day I sold him those phones and extended warranties on them all and it was about $18,000. Needless to say I took the rest of the day off
