:Why would a pager company want to block calls from pay phones?
Because they (the pager companies) have been ordered to pay the charges related to calls made to their service from pay phones. 18.5 cents per call was the number the fed agreed to. Keeping up with the telecommunications industry is difficult, eh?
Very interesting. That hasen't hit my area, as far as I know. In addition, paging from a pay phpne (at least, where I'm located) is of no use unless you're using a telephone number to alert the owner of the pager to your location (which makes it easier to find my friends, granted), since pay phones have been re-hardwired to reject incoming calls.
