We were having dessert at Cafe Breton in GB3 a while ago with the rest of the BoB thinking when we could record our next episode when our discussion rolled over to those ancient Nokia cellphones and the pager or beeper.
Aren’t they dead yet? At least, here in the Philippines. Easy Call used to be one of these paging companies but has now evolved into a call center (with clients like Wendy’s). Are there any other companies still into this?
Just curious.
i used to have colored pager, a red one :) i miss it..
i forgot where the pager number is located, the one that u should give to the operator as the number of the recipient..
yeah :) how much?
Hi, while cleaning my cabinet, I found a pager motorola “infopage”. At the back of the beeper theres a sticker that says “FINDER OF THIS PAGER WILL BE REWARDED MAX. P500”.
its still working when i put in AAA battery. Anyone want a pager? Im thinking of selling it
really?how much :D
Thanks a bunch for sharing this wonderful folks you actually realize what you’re talking approximately! Bookmarked. Please also seek advice from my site =). We could have a link alternate arrangement between us!
well i wish they’d have those pagers back… it gives you the option to respond back or not and you get messages that are important… mobile phones can somehow be a hassle in a way specially when you have personal matters going on…
Which access codes were used for pagers in the Philippines? Like cellphones, starting with 9xx? Or landline-numbers? For an alphanumeric message, did one had to call the operator, or did the paging companies already provide sending messages via e-mail and Internet?
In MC-16-10-2007, the National Telecommunications Commission revoked all access codes for pagers, noting that there were no longer any active paging companies in the Philippines.

What do you think? I never used one before. Technology is evolving.

Out of curiosity, I could not find where Easycall houses its contact center. Their main place before in Libertad St. Mandaluyong was sold to ePLDT Ventus.
It’s dead in the Philippines. There’s not enough market for a “guaranteed delivery” messaging system like there still is in the US. But I guess placing a voice call works just as wel.
In a professional capacity where immediate access is required (eg doctors), pagers are still common. Of course, in that situation its more like ‘get here’ than ‘call me’
i want it whose selling their beeper?
