As an add-on to your smartphone? I like the idea of using a pager, not for the sake of romanticizing old tech, but to reduce the mental overload of being constantly online.
- calvinmorrison 5y agoYes. I got it two years ago since I hate my phone and having to always worry its charged etc. Pager takes 1 AA that lasts about a month. Its hooked into work to ping me if I need to flip out my laptop. Dead reliable and the service is great.
- paulz_ 5y agoI have considered doing this exact thing. Any tips? One thing I've wondered about is if there is even any pager network coverage where I live. I suspect yes but I don't know of any coverage maps or that sort of thing.
- calvinmorrison 5y agoCoverage is good in all us metro areas. directpage has good coverage maps as there's basically only two networks these days
