No More One-Way Pagers
- Share via
Motorola Inc. will discontinue all one-way pagers and some two-way models in mid-2002 in favor of newer, more profitable devices that double as mobile phones.
The company said the discontinued products, such as the Talkabout T900, work on different wireless networks from the newer devices. Motorola will concentrate on two-way pagers that also function as phones, such as the V100, introduced in October 2000.
The move marks the end of an era for Motorola, which sold its first one-way pager, the Handie-Talkie, in 1955.
