Last beep from pagers at end of the month

YOU WERE SAYING...?

Remember pagers? The must-have mobile communication device of the 1990s, so quickly gone out of style, will soon go out of commission.

SunPage, the last paging service provider in Singapore, is set to go silent at the end of this month - after more than 15 years of service and outlasting other paging pioneers Hutchison Intrapage, M1, and SingTel.

The last customers standing - some 10,000 users - are mainly military personnel, national servicemen, doctors and petrochemical factory workers, SunPage told The Straits Times.

Mr Steven Ng, managing director of SunPage, said it was 'no longer commercially viable' to continue its services for the small pool of users. It would, however, continue providing its international calling and roaming services.
