Anyone Here Had a Pager?

Had one maybe JR and SR years of HS and throughout college. I remember giving girls that I met in bars my beeper number

I think I got my first cell phone a few years after college.

Only when I was dealing.

I remember this one guy in my class had one our senior year of college.

We would page him from our dorm room when we knew he was presenting his senior project in class!

Hang on, my pay phone is ringing.

I used to rock the white Motorola

Anyone Here Had a Pager?
I had a pager at my first job. Well before cell phones too. Sometimes took 30 minutes to find a phone to call back.

I did too and carried around two dollars in quarters all day. I remember thinking "I fricking hate this beeper, can't I have any solitude..." I remember just the other day thinking how much I miss the beeper now...

Pagers were going out of style when I was young but my uncle would have one for work. I was always curious how they work.

I had them for work. The first ones would only show a phone number when it beeped. Later I got one that people could send messages and thought this was the height of technology.

I worked for a few years on 24 hour call for oilfield service company. We would of course get beeped when a job came up. All the older hands would tell us young hands about before there were beepers. If they were at home the phone service would call them but if they were out of the house they had to call the service every thirty minutes to check for a job. Said they never got to see a complete movie at the theatre.

I had a pager in the 80's, then I got a bigass Motorola bag phone. Still needed the pager as the phone never left the vehicle.

baller move, have your friend go a page you from the payphone while your slow dancing so she feels it
