"Just Page Me!"

[Talk Wrench]

Is anyone old enough to to remember pagers? Very popular in the 80's and 90's before the mobile phone was introduced into people's lives.

The NHS used them up until the mid 2010's

Hezbollah probably received a different memo....

Talk about an effective means of having a pop at them. Pop goes the pager.

They are still in use in other areas. The RNLI, for example, use them for alerting crews with a single call.
