denbugden

Mystic
I feel so old. I had that exact pager
Egghead 73191
These were a favorite of drug dealers in the 80s because they could get a page without detection and then go out to use a pay phone (remember those?) to call the "customer" back. I was never a drug dealer! Don't ask how I know this...

I wonder what life would have been like with a pager instead of a phone. I've only ever see it in medical dramas. Too young to know anything else!
