How many of you used a pager when you were younger?

And you had to stop at a pay phone & hope you had a dime.

at one time the pager was like the greatest invention ever. Lol

I had one when I was 15. I thought I was the coolest guy in the world when that thing went off. I would even let it beep for a couple of seconds just so everyone could hear it. Then I would look down and say"ahhh it's just my bitch". True story. Can't make that type of shit up

Pagers sucked, but the alpha pagers were even worse (the one way text thingy)... I remember every page from the office would be "Call the office" - hmmm... why even have this?

F*ck, have I been at this job that long???

Hey Boys,

Talk about back in the day lol, at HS, everyone would have a pager! And now here in Toronto, pay phones have gone from 0.25 to 0.50 cents a call, all in part due to cell phones I am sure.
