In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?

    In the past, definitely. I’m not sure what the current system is.

    Realistically, might as well read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pager as it knows a lot more than I do. I had a pager for several years and have done network programming, that’s about it… i have an insulin pump that people often mistake for a pager though, ha. It makes me look pretty cool.
