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 never owned a pager although would love to someday...given the fact that nowadays technology is so advanced we have our phones to send a text instead of using a pager

Egghead 73191, What you stated is relatively common knowledge for those of us who were born watching the age of cellular phones appear. Younger people likely are unaware of it without being taught thar piece of history.

I had one when I worked for the Rocky Mountain News in 1991 to about 1996. I was in my 20s now. I'm in my 50s times have really changed. By the way, The Rocky Mountain News was a big newspaper company in Denver for over a 100 years. I think. I miss it.

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!
