  No, I wasn’t a drug dealer!

  My mom said those were the only people who used them.

  By the time I knew about pagers, cell phones were also available and not prohibitively expensive (but not quite common, either). So i didn’t understand the point.

  My dad at one point needed to wear three pagers on his belt at all times.

      He worked in IT. Pagers would beep when different systems ran into problems.
