I was speedy with pager code, too. My friends and I used pagers/code similarly to how text is used now--short messages, sometimes back and forth. I started out with a plain, black, brick one. Then my parents bought me this cool, tiny, blue one that converted common pager codes into actual words (ie. If someone paged me 143, it would come up as "I love you" on my pager). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-the-90s-did-you-own-a-pager#post-126338 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:49:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 126338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes i had a white motorola! i could communicate anything with numbers! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-the-90s-did-you-own-a-pager#post-126332 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:42:53 +0000 banana 126332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a clear motorola and I thought I was so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-the-90s-did-you-own-a-pager#post-126285 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:07:04 +0000 lilteacherbee 126285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I was too young, but my dad had 2 (one for work and one for the volunteer fire department) and I always thought they were cool.
