Well back in the day when my workplace had beepers, there were payphones if you were driving. Today I would venture your quarters will stay in the roll. If you did find a payphone,  the neighborhood it was in might not be that safe.  Plus side you would be able to talk to the girl. Con, no two call system would work unless the incall had a payphone.

I upgraded to a pager and a flip. The battery is at 5%, it's taking me forever to type this in an the internet is sloooow.

The phone has a messed up charger, Helllllp! :-D:-\:-|

I knew smoke signals was the way to go in the first place

Never used a beeper for personal use, but I sure remember using pay phones and quarters.  With regard to the hobby, we are so very lucky in today's world.

I recall stopping to buy gum, or candy, at a convenience store, to get those quarters. Yeah...it was never fun calling from a pay phone (location chosen by the lady) to get her nearby address. Especially if it was cold and rainy! 

I thank my lucky stars, for the ease of booking today!
