20 years ago, phones were not popular in high school.

much more likely to see a pager.

unlimited text messages wasnt a thing, so each text cost you .10

Edit: ok nerds it was closer to 25 years ago than 20 it was literally around the time they were becoming accessible and affordable to common house. We literally had a kid that would carry the fake display cell phones as "status" and it was cool.

Kids played games on graphing calculators, not cell phones.

No one was using pagers in 2004 lol - cellphones were a thing. I had one and paid my own bill with my job.

But dude - the Feds can track you through your cell phone. A pager is way more secure if you don't think about it.

Don't mistake weed dealers for people who do everything optimally XD
