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?

    Yeah it’s not as secure but it has privacy advantages since there’s no 2-way communication.

        Yeah and my guess is that they’d be less private because if they act as a transmitter, I think they could potentially be triangulated.
