do you remember before mobile phones the pager system

by anniebabeComment Published at 13:4813:487 comments7 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

do you remember before the mobile phones? we had a pager system they were mostly owned by businesses. my husband had one given to him from work.

in case of emergency i would ring the pager then i would leave a message with the operator from the call centre and hubby would ring me back.

my hubby would get a beep on his beeper (or pager) read or listen to message but would have to get to a phone to call back. ah technology!! how advance has it got in a short space!

this is late eighties or early ninties

cheers annie

Ha, yeah, not only do I remember that, but I remember the first mobile phones! They were like carting around 4 house bricks! Not as mobile as the ones we have now, that's for sure!

I should also mention when I used to work for a Real Estate company, on the weekends people would call the office to leave messages. We didn't listen to people's calls, we used a pager where the message would scroll across in letters on the pager screen. Not sure if that counts though.
