Will you use a pager service in this kind of situation?

Just buy a burner phone you idiot.

A pager is an alternative! :)

A shittier alternative. Similar to how carrying around tin cans and a string is "an alternative"

>>56084723
Why is it shittier? A pager service have some advantage like a permanent number to get communications.

Burner phones use disposable numbers.

A cheap, $10 mobile phone will work wherever there is mobile coverage. A more expensive, niche product will work wherever there is niche coverage.

So, pros:
>Nobody will steal it

Cons:
>More expensive, because niche
>Less coverage
>Less features
>Harder to use

You can literally have whatever open phone number you want with any phone. You know that, right?

>>56084844
But pager services can be cheaper and with a free pager device!

>>56084866
I know, but pager must reborn!

>>56084935
No. If you're taking a short trip, they're not going to give you a free pager. Just no. Stop.

Pagers belong in the group of 90s things that we gave up for a reason, same with happy pants.

Where? I pay less than $10 per month for cell service and can get a dumb phone for under $20.

It's time to move on, OP. Pagers are dead. Burner phones are the future.

I hope you're talking about phones because oagers work with radio frequency you retard. As shown by the NASA you can even receive the messages in the moon, Does your phone have coverage in the moon? Your phone looks pretty niche and expensive if you ask me.

>>56085684
Uhh... Phones work with radio frequency too. But you're so confident in your response, I presume you knew that, right? ...right.

They see you with a pager and you'll be marked as someone special. Instead of getting robbed you'll get taken and ransomed.

They might not recognize it's a pager and think you got some super advanced technology causing them to mug you. You really wanna get mugged over a pager?
