My dad is a doctor and has had pagers the entire time, from the bulky brick one you can see Dr. Beeper using in Caddyshack to the ones you’d see in this article. Outside of work, I’ve actually had to page him a few times: my family has season tickets for Northwestern Wildcats football games, and he has the tickets. If I arrive to the game late, I’d need to call or page him to come down and give me the tickets. It’s not a problem when the opponent is a small school that doesn’t travel well, but when a school like Nebraska or Ohio State show up in Evanston, cell service goes to shit (imagine having 47000 people in a suburban neighborhood). I page him and it works like a charm.
