It wasn't long ago that I remember pulling over to stop at the pay phone to call the number being displayed on my pager. Some teens may ask, "what's a pager?" It was a magical little box that someone would call the number to, put in their number, and it would beep/buzz to show you the number of the person trying to reach you. If they thought they were cool they might say hi with "07734", or just send you "8008".

I guess my point is that the products that we use to communicate have come a long way. More people have phones today than had pagers back in the day. Do you ever meet someone that doesn't have a cell phone? I challenge you not to say, "you don't have a phone?".
