Interesting idea. I wouldn't have though the pager network was still in use, having not seen one in ages, but indeed, it is still available !
Tuning an SDR to 466MHz (the band reserved for it in France), I can see a lot a messages going on.
Documentation says it is mainly used by people like emergency services, having a better service than GSM for coverage and robustness.

Thanks for the remainder it still exists !
