If it uses POCSAG (now very old) it doesn't because pages are batched and the order they are transmitted puts them into time slots. And individual pager only listens during its slot, if you don't do this it makes the battery life awful. There was a later european pager standard that may not have done it the same way, but it came about when cellular stuff was on its exponential increase and hence may not have been widely deployed. -- Brian Morrison
