I ordered a new pager. It will be here Monday. Pager plus a year of service was only $120.

@j does it do anything or just send you a code, or a short message with a callback number?

@sun @j been carrying one for 5 years now, I have it mostly for system notifications, appointment reminders and quick messages in places I can't use in phone in or when I can't be bothered to carry a cell phone that day.

@maid @j I'm surprised they're not smaller or flatter than ones I had in the early 2000s

@sun @j Work gave me one of the fancy new e-paper ones, but if anything, it's larger than my personal one.

@dcc @j @sun if you get service on Spok, it's pretty easy to send messages

@maid @j I assume part of the reason they remain kind of chunky is, the main target audience wishes

@sun @j not sure, the only people I know with them these days are doctors and people in classified office spaces.

@maid @sun I think I'm getting the exact same one as you.

I'm getting a Unication Legend Secure on POCSAG 157.74 MHz

Today I had a bunch of spare time at work so I looked up the tower locations and specs on the FCC website and I should have better coverage than any cell provider

@dcc @nuukaset @Lars @maid @sun FedEx needs to hurry up. They said Monday at first. It's literally in my state. They deliver straight from that hub all the time.

If FedEx is giving their employees Easter Sunday and Easter Monday off then that's fine but I really doubt they're doing that.

Should I get my priest to bless my pager? #poll
