A pager is a simple telecommunications device for short messages. A one-way numeric pager can only
receive a short numeric message (usually a telephone number). A two-way pager has t
he ability to send and receive email, numeric pages and short messages. Unlike cell phones, pager messages are short and quick.
Paging is a subscription service offered in a variety of plans depending on the communication needs of the consumer.
