Ahem.

I don't know about the pagers nowadays, but the one that I last used
(7+ years ago, from SkyTel) was two-way. The network knew that you
were out of range, and if a transmitted page was received.

Mobile phones definitely do not 'Always Transmit', or else there
wouldn't be different battery standby versus talk times.
