                  I was talking with this guy whos a tech for sprint just last Wend, and is on call... so they have them on a pager... He said it was due to the fact that the company tried to give out cells to to all the on call techs but, the cells don't have service everywhere so they never showed up to calls... THEY have to buy the pagers from a competitor... LOL!

                    Doctors and hospital staff still use them quite a bit.

                        yeah I had one when I was 15 I think.. it was free because everytime I called to get my msgs (usually from my mom haha) they would spam you with 45seconds of ads.. good concept IMO..

                                I used to have one back in the 70's it was 4 times the size of the current ones.This is pre cellphone days, the car mobile phone had one channel in town, so if someone was making a call you had to wait till they were finished

                                      that's what I was going to say...

                                      A couple of my friends had them, I used to always page them with numbers like 69 or 31337...

                                        back in the day most guys in my school had one. I remember I paged my friend when I was ready to go out to do some graffiti because it was to late to call him on the phone

                                                  Somewhere I have a case of pagers brand new in the boxes that were discontinued and scrapped. I mistook the box in my trunk for something I needed instead of something destined for the dumpster one night after work.

                                                    A couple of my friends had them, I used to always page them with numbers like 69 or 31337...
                                                    Hehe... I still do that to my friend. Actually, what I'll do most often is page him but with another friend's number. Annoys the fuck out of him.

                                                    And my nickname is short for my real name. My friends have been calling me this since the early 90s, so it kinda stuck.

                                                      Agreed. Cellphones are banned in some areas of hospitals because the signals interferes with telemetry and other remote patient monitoring hardware.

                                                      On call MD's still carry pagers.
