Hey guys,
Recently got a new pager from the fire department, it has a nice beltclip but it offers now protection.
So looking for a nice, not to big, holster / sheath.
The pager is a swissphone res.q
So I’m looking something like this:
Wooow, I almost forgot there was once such a device as pager. Reminds me my childhood and my admiration to this technology.
Are there any advantages in using pager vs regular smartphone? I mean besides having just a separate device for receiving important messages.
Ahm, why don’t you order that belt if you like it?
I mean, it’s cool for a fire fighter I’d say, made from an original fire hose.
They say they ship everywhere.
For a brick-shaped product like that pager I would visit a few shops selling cameras and accessories. (Rotterdam = Kamera Express?) Good chance they will have a small one with a zipper or velcro. Some better ones come with extra protection foam inside, a loop to hang it from a belt and/or a clip to attach it to wherever you want it.
That is a smart reason indeed. Thanks for enlighting me.
Hehe, these pagers are used to alert us firefighters, and other emergency services when there is an emergency. They are far more reliable than traditional smartphones. Also, as MichielSanders pointed out they work on a different network than mobilephones.
Yes they are nice.
Imo they are little bit expensive. If I could get one a lot cheaper that’s just made from nylon that would be my first choice.
I see. Well, I though the material could be more rugged than nylon, but you know the surroundings of your job better than I do.
The ideas with holsters for cameras sounds good to me, I’d go that route. Maybe those cheaper electronics stores have a something like that, that’s where I’d look first.
Or in a $1€ store.
