Cell phones are easily tracked. Pagers aren't.
How do you figure? A pager is just a way dumber phone, but it's still a client on a cellular network like any other.
They aren't though, pagers run in a separate frequency and their own towers with far greater range and penetration. Most aren't even bi directional they just receive so there is no way to track them.
Pagers have more in common with a transistor radio than a cell phone.
Yeah I realize that now after doing more research
The way I understand it, pagers are a one way device. When a message is sent to a pager it is broadcasted by the network for the pager to recieve, but there isn't any sort of confirmation sent back to the tower, so they can't really be tracked. That's why they were in use prior to cellphones. These pagers ran on a AAA battery from what I understand, which wouldn't last very long if it was having to constantly broadcast like a cellphone.
Did a little digging and it appears the Hezbollah pages were POCSAG/FLEX which does indeed appear to be one-way, so that's very possibly a reason why they were picked
