It predates the cell phones.

A pager. I remember my dad wearing one when I was a small girl. He carried it until about 2006.

[EmmaMary]

Gosh... That's surely an old pager/bleeper.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so much @jimmy2 for the MHO.

It’s a beeper or pager as some say & I totally remember those days & payphone days as well.

That’s a pager. My parents are doctors so I know this technology well, lol. They still use them.

[God_of_Thunder]

It's a pager, sometimes called a beeper, and I feel old as shit now.

Thanks for that 😂

[jimmy2]

Lol.

A pager. I don't think they are used much now, if at all. My brother still has our father's old one, in a drawer with some old phones.

[jimmy2]

I thought they don't use it anymore

[Jessica405]

Not sure. Our father used it a lot, but not in the last 17 ot 18 years.

It is a pager. I got my wife one just like this when she first went back to work. My youngest has asthma and she needed to be able to be contacted by the school nurse.

That my older and already knows is a pager. Widely used by doctors, it became more popular as a beeper by pimps and drug dealers between the mid 80's and it's eventual death to cellular phones that well kinda work.

[AviatorTom]

It's a pager. Some Doctors still wear them. I wore one as part of my work back in the 1990s, in case a customer called with a problem with your computer system.

[Imsmurter1]
