In an event cellular communications are disrupted, are you sure landline ones always survive? I mean, being able to receive messages without being tracked (since the messages are broadcasted and a normal pager is reception-only) is perfectly fine, but the question is how to send the message to a pager when no landline, cellular or Internet connection is available. What I'm trying to get to is while pagers can be useful for the emergency response teams with all the equipment if necessary, they make almost no use for ordinary people trying to communicate to each other during such an emergency. No folks, this is why pagers (numeric and alphanumeric ones) were originally designed for peaceful times (when at least landlines are working fine), not for disasters...
This video feels like propaganda. Yes there are cons to phones but pagers use the same tech as a phone 2g/3G/4G widely and a small local transmitter if setup as a business. Tbh DMR radios are loads more effective and get info out quicker and can be set up away from public mobile systems using your own repeater network
Totally false propaganda. For example they mention a point, your pager radio tower can have battery backup in case of disaster. Lol so can cell towers if you really really needed to run towers of off emergency backup power. Baloney!
All cell phones should come with a nifty little pager, n'est ce pas?
They do. It’s called a text message.

Pagers or ham radios or walkie talkies are better for disasters
