I last used a pager for work very early in this century.
But you knew someone was going to google this and come up with a Wikipedia page, right? OK Wiki, you’re up:
“Nevertheless, pagers continue to be used by some emergency services and public safety personnel, because modern pager systems’ coverage overlap, combined with use of satellite communications, can make paging systems more reliable than terrestrial based cellular networks in some cases, including during natural and human-made disasters. This resilience has led public safety agencies to adopt pagers over cellular and other commercial services for critical messaging.”

Getting a page? Wow, Grimmy is a few decades behind. Time to get with the 21st century and at least get a Palm Treo.
