Weird, just this week at the hospital the doctors and nurses all had one, every restaurant I went to they gave us those disks that vibrate ( which are just pagers by the way ), and "Blart" the mall security guard had one.

They didn't get the message apparently....

There are a million frequencies and many millions of cap codes for the pagers so there should be zero problems.

One other item is to make sure your paging weather stations do not have the antenna wire coiled up, that causes problems for some.

That explains why at the last 3 Vegas races the pager sometimes would not read correctly once in a while. Interesting!

Edds is literally the only person I could find who still tracks pager use. The market research firms I talked to stopped studying pagers so long ago, they no longer even keep records of the data. But Edds says even though pagers are still widely used, 70 percent of hospitals report using or experimenting with smartphones.
And a mall cop parody -- where the whole point was to show how ridiculous it was -- great recommendation.
