Why the contest over Cell phones versus Pagers?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Is it possible that depending on

+ your geographic location

+ What works indoors for you

+ Your pager and plan

+ Your cell phone and plan

+ Which if either is paid for by employer

Reasonable folks may reasonably come to a different conclusion over
whether they want/need a Pager, and there is no ONE SINGLE ANSWER???

Very true, what Phill said.

I think it's safe to say, though, that someone coming to one or more
cellular service newsgroups and touting pagers was being a bit
argumentative from the start. Hence the "contest."

Usenet isn't exactly known for ignoring such challenges

You've missed the point, entirely.

As Robert said, there "is no ONE SINGLE ANSWER."

In my job, it's imperative that I have BOTH forms of communication.
