Yeah I was pretty late too. I think I was like 19 when I finally got a phone, and everyone else I knew had one when we were like 14.
I never had a pager though. Never even knew how they worked until recently.

I was in my 30s after we had kids. Obviously my kids had them eventually, but only when they really needed to stay in touch.
Yeah that was why all my friends had them. Their parents paid for them.
My parents and grandparents all had them, and idk why but I didn't want one.
I used to memorize a lot of phone numbers.
For a few years my parents had these phones I think called Nextel, and they had something called push to talk. It was like a long range walkie-talkie.
They were popular with tradesmen on large job sites.
I always wondered why they went away.
