It’s 2022 and I want a pager!
Same bro
I have a site you all can get one from. I ordered mines and paid a year subscription including pager with voicemail for $205.00(including $49.95) for pager. and $155.40 but that pager was free. Direct page that’s he’s speaking of in this video is legit I got one and my boyfriend got one!!!!
You can buy mine
@@mrbakedbean4105 LOL
I'm outdoor worker and milenials and I have this because I don't touch my phone while working
I am from New Zealand in the emergency services and we still use pagers for callouts :)
Can you please do a review on normal pagers? What are the differences between Alphanumeric and Two-way Pagers ?
I just got one today from direct page thank u for this video.
Glad I could help
That looks just like the pager I used back in 1998.
I was born in 2001 and lately been watching lots of 80s/90s movies so here I am :)
I just came to see what a pager is and how it works because of the K-drama "Twenty-Five Twenty-One". In that drama, they used pagers, and I had no idea what a pager was and how it worked. I still don't understand how a pager works but I learned a little bit about them. Thanks to the drama "Twenty-Five Twenty-One", I know things such as pagers exist.
That’s exactly why I’m here too 😭
@@marinettesol9613 I still don't get how you can type on a pager if it has no keyboard. At least Yi-jin and Hee-do are using flip phones now, so I won't have to be confused. 😭😭
Omg same, I've been wondering how they work ever since I started watching it. Like you said even I have no idea how you can type on those... But I loved how you could listen to the voicemails sent to your pager using a landline! It's just so amazing. I'd love to use them and hope they make a comeback!
@@stanajaemin most pagers were only one way communication. Usually you would call the person back from a land line. Some had no screens and just played basically a voicemail message.
I’m not sure if you still don’t understand or not but if not , basically say you have a friend , and they have a pager . You would have your friends pager number, call from a landline and enter specific numbers (0-9) which are called Pager Codes to get their attention. For example 143 - I love you , 911- call me now , 343- call back ,etc…
Once message is sent and received they would then call you from a landline to further communicate.
I'm getting one. I was 60 miles from my home and had no cellular service, which meant I could not use maps to help me get to my destination. I'm paying for no service! Garmin wouldn't work, either! I couldn't call home, either. I had to ask a pedestrian for directions! How's that for high tech?
if a cell phone won't work, a pager won't work either though, isn't that how they work?
well, do you know the reason why 5G internet speeds are better than 4g or 3g? it's because they work on different wavelengths. 5G uses millimeter-Wave while 3G has a bigger wavelength and slower internet speeds but its range is much bigger compared to 5G, it cannot penetrate a lot of walls and trees 3G can do that and its the similar reason why people use radios on cars because it has such a huge range due its wavelength being able to penetrate through many many surfaces but the drawback here is the information the signal can carry isn't very much.
@@MathewZ788 except most carriers have disabled their 3g service.
@@grominwithrob1339 and your point being?. They disabled it so it doesn't exist or make sense?
@@MathewZ788some 5G equipment can use millimeter wave, but it's not particularly common. For phones, it's mainly intended for densely crowded areas like stadiums. 5G uses whatever frequencies the carriers can get their hands on, including the same frequencies that 3G and 4G services have used. 5G is dozens of incremental improvements from 4G in the techniques data is encoded and transmitted wirelessly, rather than some fundamental breakthrough. A lot of the improvements are on the cell tower side rather than on the phone side, i.e. using very high gain phased array antennas and stuff.
last time I looked in to getting one it was about $15/mo. I could add a data/text "line" on my existing mobile service for $10. A sales person I worked with in the early 2000's almost got fired when she had her customers "page" her - she had a cell phone too and when her manager learned she wasn't giving customers her phone number (that the company was paying for BTW) she nearly got the axe. The manager said "it's 2001 and unless you're an on-call surgeon you don't have your customers page you..." I'd be interested in seeing how much the monthly is still - I'm in to older tech that still works...
I think this is the same place I found a few years ago - the good news is rates really haven't increased - the bad news is that rates haven't come down based on competitive from mobile carrier "add-ons". Still has it's uses though....
Not only surgeons make the world go around. It takes all of us. Well that was 21 years ago. For heavens sakes
I can see that if the company provides your with phone service for customer engagement. But if your on your own do as you please. I have no issues with using a pager.
The contact info to the company is in the video if you are interested in getting one. Prices are really good.
I really need this because I miss calls in the night for my child but I have my phone on silent because I work late an hate getting woke up
Looking to buy a pager these days, thanks for the upload.
Same as I hate getting telemarketer calls
Any time!
Telemarketers are the worst. I use this to forward calls to instead of my phone going to Voicemail. No more 2 second voicemails of someone just hanging up.
I have 0 real usage for one.. but I want one.
My dad always had one for work and I still think the tech is really neat.
uses, the mob
@@AMPProf My dad was the Goodyear Blimp mobster.
I want a pager so bad, had a Motorola pager back in the day
I have one now for sale
So if you disable the voicemail, wouldn’t you see the number of the person who called anyway?
I remember when I was a kid I used to send my dad text messages and you used to have to tell the operator what you wanted her to write and I used to have fun messing with the operators and I remember they could only be so long then he bought him and myself Motorola time ports where you could send text messages back and forth with each other they had a little flip up keyboard they used to be called two ways then three ways came along where you could also make calls they had primitive internet it was pretty cool for the time I had one in around 2000 when I was in high school
Pagers are like the CB radio Great in their day I had 4 Pagers each for members of my family also had a CB my age now 70yr from Scotland
What network are you using
lol
I still use one. Forward important e-mails and shut down my phone in the evening. For $240/year I will keep it for as long as it works.
Yeah
Fun fact if you have a really old one you can use the hackrf to send stuff to them
Hey I was gonna buy one what plan is best on direct page should I pick???
I just went with the quarterly plan with regional coverage. Wanted to try it out and see how it fits in to my lifestyle. Now I think when I renew I’ll go for the year.
I want it too
Is there a reason this is in hdr?
You know kinda think of it why I want a pager. I don't have to pay for a cellphone bill and I don't have to listen to annoying ad's or get hacked
omggg my mom had the exact same pager in black back in the 90th. I never figured out how it works lol
How can u get service for one looks like this it says alpha elite on the front
C Lynn... Good morning. If you call or email Directpage they will ask for the frequency on the back of the pager. If it is not compatible they do have a program where they will exchange your pager for the same model and you can get service for it. Hope this helps. :) all contact info.is in the video description.
I will make my Own 💯
I work in Healthcare. So Cell service isn't the greatest. I have Motorola 2 way pager -T900. Also easy for Business purpose. Lets Rock & be Nostalgic.
I want to get the T900 actually.
They have the Refurbished T900. Shout out to Fred R. in Customer Service!!! . Free Msg Carbon Copy to your Cell phone so you never miss a page. Cheapest around. Using Usa Mobility/ Now Spok
I just ordered one today!

Www.Directpage.com
Same I need a pager I work in a place that not allowed phones in I'm always worried Emergency messages from my family I need a pager
mysecretary or direct page have them. Pay them a visit, in my opinion prices are acceptable. Family can send message from any cell as text, from web, or regular land line as page codes… i.e. phone no.*424.
Pushing P 🤝
Turning off phones you gotta beep ‘em
It's 2024 and I want a pager
Wait, do pagers run off of cell phone towers or something more powerful, like a satellite? I'm confused. Are pagers actually more reliable than call phones when it comes to having signal in remote areas? That's pretty cool if true! I had no idea.
They do not run on cell networks. They are on a completely different network which transmits a much more reliable signal that penetrates walls basements and hard to cover areas. They are typically on the 929mhz frequency. You can get more info at www.Directpage.Com
@@dlodato052584 That is insanely cool to me, I can't believe I never knew this. Makes total sense why they're still used in the medical field now. I never thought I'd be interested in buying a pager in 2021, now I'm kinda looking forward to trying one. Thanks Dustin! Much appreciated.
@@ZeranZeran Your comment gave me an idea -- I do believe I'd rather have an (alpha-numeric) pager than a satellite phone, since they run on FM frequencies.
It’s hard to find Someone Who has Or Will Page You Nowadays lol
Facts
Someone should run Doom on a pager
it's such a panic buy that it has to be intro to a daily life activity I mean the one I have is a ANSWERING MACHINE WIRING so it has a general vibration to it I was younger then a teenager having it & now just got my 20's it has the intent on being between worlds for me so much I miss that time in my life CAN NOT MISS THE $$ though but comgrats it's awesome sauce - foggy glued
Fuck yeah
"National Accounts"- Secret Agent or Mafioso... LOL
Easy: New York, National accounts. Pager... Yep he works for Tony Sopranno
It's better
Those damn things still exist? I was tethered by such for decades. I smashed my last pager a few years ago. I destroyed it with a sledge hammer. I destroyed it without mercy, without remorse.
Oh they still exist. They just aren’t mainstream. I now use it to Avoid voicemail on my cell phone. Also, only critical emails from certain senders will get forward to that because I know it is immediate response required.
wtf 💀
@@dlodato052584 if i buy one off ebay how can I send a page to it
why
Why not?
@@dlodato052584 is he saying?
@@shahnoorsyed6769 is he saying what? I’m confused by your question. Audun above asked why for the pager so I said why not have a pager. I stated my use case in the video. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
@@dlodato052584 this guy
why you could of got a dirt cheap Smartphone i mean its a phone not a pager but a pager why they want over 330 dollars for one you can get a smartphone cheaper than that
JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH YHVH LOVES YOU.
Thank you for this 🫡
I garuntee the majority of your viewers have no clue what a pager or beeper is and probably think it's something having to do with a book bc of the name ne"PAGER"
Doctors still use them
