I think they will because they're easy to use and fit in your pocket. It's about convenience these days.

Pagers should make a comeback. If I want to talk to someone, I will call them. This culture of assuming I can answer a page or text someone back immediately gratifying their desire to communicate is offensive and has ruined driving.

I had a pager until 2011 because I worked in a hospital. I assume they still use them.

They sure do. you can tune into them and watch an endless stream of room transfer and supply request pages with a $20 TV tuner stick from dealextreme. (it's technically illegal as pagers have an implied assumption of privacy)

H.P. Hovercraft posted:remember those BEEP BOOP walkie talkie phones I believe Nextel is now defunct. But the next service and accompanying Motorola handsets had a lot going for it: 1. Within a certain range of each other, using them as a walkie talkie was free. This was fairly invaluable for small businesses who didn't have money to fritter on walkie talkies or for smaller municipalities. 2. Motorola construction. I saw a guy accidentally run over his phone which slid off his seat, run directly over it with a backhoe. It worked fine and the screen was not even cracked. (The second time this happened his phone was hosed.)

iDEN is also supposed to penetrate concrete structures better than CDMA or gsm or at least that's what a guy who sounded convincing said to me
