It had a network provider. PSL in this case.
Switching voice couldn't be possible coz of bandwidth limitations.

No, its some upcoming technology.

Wueh...reminds me of a moment at ABC Place when a guy walked into the Standard Bank ATM lobby with two of those pagers and two walkie talkies hooked onto his belt. He also had one on the first humongous phones in his hand...he was a white kaburu.

Memories indeed

Hii technology ilinipita. But I had my first mobile phone in 2002. Nokia Phone.

I used to charge people 50 bob to install for them a ringtone.

Aviator wacha kupea watu majibu za opuss. I wouldn't know a pager if it hit me right in the face, though I remember I watched Jet Li using it in a couple of movies.

Kuna a doctor cousin of mine alikuwa nayo. Jamaa alikuwa hashikiki.
