It's true about pagers becoming almost entirely outdated.
We have a pager that our Duty Engineer has used when really poor mobile reception was expected. In the last couple of months we've received notice that the service is being discontinued as it's no longer economically viable due to the low volume of use. It's annoying as it was sold around six years ago as a 'lifetime service' where you just purchased the pager and the telecoms companies made their money out of the people that sent messages to it.

Pagers have been pretty much superseded by SMS now. I think the only people still using them do so for very specialised legacy reasons - certainly all the engineers at work use mobile phone/PDA combinations.
I haven't even seen pagers for sale for *years*.
