> what pager numbers
This is where it gets confusing. We all remember the pagers running on cellular/2G networks but it seems that nowadays most pagers are HF devices and mostly broadcast receivers. Quite unclear which one are involved.
- pragma_x 2y agoGood point. I'm kind of a dumb-dumb when it comes to present-day pager tech. I haven't even seen one in decades. Let me rephrase the question then: if any measure was made to target just the pagers that were in the hands of Hezbollah, how was that accomplished?
- wut42 2y agoSo far all I've seen is speculation that a specific shipment was targeted. I'm pretty sure they weren't cellular pagers as they don't seem to be the norm nowadays.
- andrewshadura 2y ago> We all remember the pagers running on cellular/2G networks Who does? I'm not aware of pagers running on the GSM network. Maybe they existed, but I don't think they were ever widespread.
- wut42 2y agoYou're right. It existed and had a short span of life/fame in some countries but that is all. Most pagers were on their own protocol/frequency. the protocol seems to be mostly the same theses days: POCSAG Many commenters here also assumed like I did it was some cellular/SIM devices but it wasn't that much widespread.
