Pager

A pager was a type of text-based communications device used on Earth during the late 20th century. The typical pocket pager alerted its user to a recently received message by beeping, and were used by people who needed to be contacted quickly, such as doctors. 
In 1986, while at an Italian restaurant for dinner, James T. Kirk's communicator beeped several times. Surprised by the interruption, his dining companion, Doctor Gillian Taylor, asked him "You have a pocket pager? Are you a doctor?" ()
