Never.

10 years at least. I had a job that required I wear one. Hated it. Felt like a drug dealer.

I actually just threw mine away 2 week ago, after letting the service lapse end of last year. I left that number on my business answering message as opposed to my cell. Now I just check my messages. I suppose the next time I'm trying to land a contract I will end up leaving my cell number on the machine.

Almost every day. Moto Minitor 5, its how our ambulance personnel are dispatched. I even carry it when I'm off duty usually.

I haven't used one in 10 years, but we still have over 800 issued and working at the site where I work.

1998 when I changed jobs.

We use the old pager as a traveling alarm clock....that's it.....

Are you trying to find out how old some of us are? All you have to do is ask! Ha....I carried a very expensive Satellite pager with me for 3 years in the Army. I also had several (i broke them a lot) in the early 90's, but the last time I used one was about 1995. Still got it, I think its in the same box as my Pet Rock.

There is no more pager service here in Germany since about 5 years.
I hated it. It beeped always when I just slept.
