@j I didn't realize pagers still existed

@sun yep
I went with American Messaging

There is also Spok.

@j does it do anything or just send you a code, or a short message with a callback number?

@sun it's alphanumeric
You can email it
Maybe text it
Call it
Or send a message here:

@sun @j been carrying one for 5 years now, I have it mostly for system notifications, appointment reminders and quick messages in places I can't use in phone in or when I can't be bothered to carry a cell phone that day.

@maid @j @sun Sounds like a good idea.... hmmmm

@maid @j I'm surprised they're not smaller or flatter than ones I had in the early 2000s

@sun @j Work gave me one of the fancy new e-paper ones, but if anything, it's larger than my personal one.

@maid @j I assume part of the reason they remain kind of chunky is, the main target audience wishes

@sun @j @maid its paperclip. anything else would be unoptimal.

@sun @j not sure, the only people I know with them these days are doctors and people in classified office spaces.

@maid @sun I think I'm getting the exact same one as you.

I'm getting a Unication Legend Secure on POCSAG 157.74 MHz

Today I had a bunch of spare time at work so I looked up the tower locations and specs on the FCC website and I should have better coverage than any cell provider

@maid @sun @j i didn’t know they still got service. Several year ago at my last job I received a whole gaylord of pagers that went to scrap

@Lars @maid @sun only white people use them
That's why you threw them out
