    My mom paged my dad when she went into labor with me and that's as far as my experience with those goes.

    The scenes where everyone's heads explode while Freamon's explaining computer technology did not age well.

    Legit easy, fam. One way landline to pager.
    1. Call the pager number, wait for beep
    2. Put in your phone number and they call you back OR your code like 80085 6969 for a hookup, then #.
    3. Hang up, wait for a call or page back
    4. Success

    Back in the days when I was a teenager
    Before I had status and before I had a pager
    You could find the Abstract listening to hip hop
    My pops used to say, it reminded him of be-bop
    I said, well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles
    The way that Bobby Brown is just ampin like Michael
    Its all expected, things are for the lookin
    If you got the money, Quest is for the bookin
