I work in a facility where we can’t have cell phones, so if i need to be reached, i get a sweet sweet page. Its different now though, you just text it and the text shows up. I cant respond to it on my pager, but you can tell me what you need and i can go find my phone to reply.
I mean my facility still uses pagers alongside mobile numbers and internal dect phones. Pagers are still essential when you need to notify several departments or staff suddenly (i.e a bat phone, code crimson, internal emergencies).
You can send custom texts to pagers as well but I only ever used it on night shift to text when the Macca orders arrived.
I still use a pager!

That’s pretty cool. I wonder if doctors use those too now.

Pretty sure doctors just use cell phones
