[QUOTE="Max Roscoe, post: 1360440, member: 17845"] I'm surprised there are enough pager customers out there to support renting tower space on a separate system. But I guess it's a high margin business. I had a free text capable pager over 15 years ago from this company called totallyfreepaging.com that would occasionally send you ads. It was great for a broke teenager with no cell phone who wanted to keep in touch with ladies in various cities. One of the key techniques for preserving your privacy and security is to go against the flow. The powers that be never worry about 100% compliance. They focus on what can capture 90% of the data for a very cheap price. And one of the very best techniques is to imagine what the smallest minority of people are doing. For example, they may implement smart phone based vaccine tracking, but they won't require it for the small number of people that do not own a cell phone. There's no rule that says one must pay for telephone service, or even have a driver's license, and hundreds of thousands of people do not. I had totally forgotten about pagers. [/QUOTE]
