Remember Pagers?

[Aggie]

I don't know the last time I've seen one. I had one for awhile right at the time cell phones were becoming affordable for everyone. I didn't have it long but I thought I was SO COOL! Mine was clear. Remember how people tried to use them for texting before we even knew what that was? Good times.

Some of my co-workers still use them because cell phones aren't allowed in secure facilities.

Still haven't seen that show so I wouldn't get it.

i think i may still have mine... got it in 1999/2000... i think that was right around the time cell phones were becoming more affordable.

GOOD!

[Chigworthy]

I still use one for when Sheriff Dispatch needs me to come impound some scumbag's dog for them in the middle of the night. That way, I can wake up for a few seconds before talking to them, as opposed to hearing the phone ringing from a dead sleep and talking to someone right off the bat with drool streaming down my face.

my store still uses pagers, all the floor managers carry one ... the store was started with an apple cart and cigar box, and we really haven't been too advanced progressing & utilizing technology

Back in the early 90's we used to text bets to friends at the track. We had a pretty sophisticated series of codes too. When I got my first Zach Morris model cell phone, I had a pager as well, since it was so fucking expensive to make calls. It was easier to drop a few dimes into a pay phone if one was around.

[Death Metal Moe]

Last time I saw one was high school in the mid 90's. I remember all the girls had them tucked under their Catholic School dresses. Almost all the kids there were pretty rich so of course they had to have one even if all their friends were with them in school and no one would be paging them all day.

It's been awhile though. Like someone else said though, people still use them because you can't bring cell phones in certain places, like parts of hospitals I think.

the number was the amount of letters in the word.. kinda stupid because it could also mean 'I hate you'

[Death Metal Moe]

2 things:

1. What would flat girls do? Or were flat girls not popular enough to need a pager?

2. Would that be more dangerous then on your hips? All of a sudden your shirt might start vibrating and it's easier for others to hear up there.

1. the flat girls would wear bigger shirts i guess...

2.the nuns would check our waists occasionally. they never did the boob space check. the rich girls who had cells would hide them there too.

Ahhhh so the caught on to the waist spot. OK, so I guess your boobs are the only place left to go after that.

Pagers are still around. The hospital uses it and when we go on call once every 2 months it's usually the ER or Screening calling for or relaying info to the staff on call.

[Gvac]

I remember when pagers got the ability to receive text messages and we thought it was the greatest technology ever. Instead of a bunch of numbers you had to decode you got the actual message. It was fantastic. And all for $3.99 a month.

Now we have cell phones and everybody just texts anyway.

[britneypablo]

<font color="deeppink"> i wonder what the generations of the future will have so that we will be able to look back and be like remember when you have to write out posts on ur blackberrys.....wow that was so tedious im so glad these new microchip under the skin phones have mind to word recognition capabilities

What a fucking great album.

Skypager was the shit - nationwide numeric paging!

"The 'S' in Skypage really stands for Sex"

[Section 8]

I used to have a pager... Then I went around a sharp turn at a very unsafe speed and it slid across my dashboard, out the open window and shattered on the road.

I got my first cell phone about 2 weeks after that.

[cougarjake13]

yep


never had them

[beachbum]

My pager paid for itself a hundred times a day.

[TripleSkeet]

Wow. I remember thinking what a great convenience it was to be able to go out and still have a way for someone to get in touch with you. All we needed was some quarters and a phone booth, which were on like every other corner. Damn, how times have changed.

[bigredd]

I had one, fuckin dug it and still remember the number. I have a friend who's a nurse and still uses one when she's on call. Another friend works for a bank and when she was at branch level she used one when she was on call for ATM breakdowns. I worked with a dude who wore his on the gold chain around his neck.

[boosterp]

Got my first one in the late 80s and pissed my mom off the first time I forgot to put it on vibrate.

Had one (medical field) all the way trough to 2007.

[PapaBear]

I had one until 1999. I was a retail manager. I'd leave work for the day, and the people at work would start paging me within 15 minutes after I left every freaking day.

[Sinestro]

The pager I used to have at my old job was the one where you had the options of just leaving a number, leaving a voicemail or leaving a text message through telling the operator what you wanted to say. The only bad thing about the text message option was that the director got a copy of what a person texted you in the monthly text reports.

[KEITHJAY]

Pagers made me mistrust and hate cell phones, you would be just racking up for a nice game of 8 ball and:drunk: beep beep

[Sinestro]

Ahhh. My old beeper. I remember it well. Plus it was an 888 number (or 800?) so you could call from any pay phone for free.

Had the same one!! That was probably the best beeper model.

My favorite part about beepers:

"I paged you."

"Oh, I didn't get the page sorry."

Easiest blowoff

[drusilla]

one of the residents my boyfriend works with lost his pager when he went to see transformers the other night so i actually had to go to the theater yesterday & ask if they found a beeper. i felt like such a tard. the guy asked me what it looked like & i was like i dunno dude it's a beeper how many can there be back there?

[SHANEFROMGA]

my moms got me one when i started driving in 94 so she could get me if she needed me, i never had any money for a pay phone though. still remember the # 751-7517, it stayed on my cars visor so much the lcd screen was almost always black from the heat.
