RetroGEAR

A pager my mum bought me in 1997 to prod me into calling her when I'd left home and didn't have a land line or mobile (and obviously very little consideration for others).

Prepaid service included in purchase price and still working to this day!!

I had that exact model and colour! Life was so much more simple.

When on call at work we used to have the old BT pagers. They were known as Billy the B*stard when you handed them on to the next on call person!

Not necessarily so simple when you were 'reminded' you hadn't contacted your mother for 7 weeks and she hoped you were still alive!!

Another 90's irrelevant retro relic that's still going strong against the odds...
