Telephone I can carry in my pocket. So I don't have to be paged. Or walk to a phone (possibly distant) to find out what someone thinks is an important "issue".

Telephone I can carry in my pocket. So I don't have to be paged. Or walk to a phone (possibly distant) to find out what someone thinks is an important "issue". Or possibly just read a text or email when convenient. And I can (hopefully) turn it off at night.
