The batteries I use are called Duracell
They last for three weeks, so they do me well
Don't be going through no phases, my joint stays on
If you're in Costa Rica on a sunlit beach
Your greed for the Phifer, I can be reached
A number of importance, I just put it on the lock

I knew the importance of a Sky Pager :)
I carried one for years. IT support. Even years later, after no longer using the pager, if I hear a similar sound my heart starts racing faster. I was really Pavloved by that thing.
No, I wasn't a drug dealer!
My mom said those were the only people who used them.
Either a doctor of the hospital or the streets. A tool for a more civilised time.
Yes, for being on call.
Back when mobile plans were expensive and coverage was terrible, pagers were fantastic. They'd get the message inside a concrete basement where a mobile had no chance of reception.
To get around the lack of acknowledgment on pagers, our plan had a "resend page 3 times every 15 minutes until acknowledged by return call, if not acknowledged ring these mobiles until answered" type setup. Worked very well for emergency after hours calls.
Now we have Pushover.
i did. still remember the number too!
Is this meshtastic?
Ah, the Motorola Express, a classic...
I had that one and a blue translucent one.
My dad at one point needed to wear three pagers on his belt at all times.
Was your dad a stock broker?
He worked in IT. Pagers would beep when different systems ran into problems.
Just like that one. 1995.
By the time I knew about pagers, cell phones were also available and not prohibitively expensive (but not quite common, either). So i didn't understand the point.
Oh yeah...booty beeps.
