Re: Advent Internet

A third of all pagers in the world are used by the NHS. That's one organisation in one country.

That's interesting to know, I don't remember many people who had them except for their job.

My Dad had one from work before graduating to a mobile phone, & the Dad of one of my school friends was a plumber who had one for his job. This one had an early voicemail system where customers could leave messages & his Dad would be alerted, but needed a landline to get the message still.

Re: Advent Internet

I work in the NHS now and I've never seen a pager. Most staff use DECT phones.
