Poketto Beru Part 1

In the 1990s, 'poketto beru' (ポケットベル), commonly called 'pokeberu' (ポケベル), was very popular in Japan.

'Poketto beru' is a wireless telecommunications system to send signals or messages, and the name comes from two English terms, "pocket" and "bell" -- it is known as "pager" or "beeper" in the U.S.

Unfortunately, as mobile phones have become widespread since the mid-1990s, 'poketto beru' has followed a course of decline.

Eventually, it was decided that the telecommunication service for personal use will be terminated in September 2019.

To be continued.
ポケットベル Part 1

1990年代、日本ではポケットベル(通称「ポケベル」)が普及していました。

「ポケットベル」は無線で合図を送るシステム(無線呼び出し)のことで、英語の "pocket" と "bell" を組み合わて作られた名称ですが、英語では "pager" や "beeper" と呼ばれます。

1990年代半ばになると、携帯電話の登場によって、ポケットベルは衰退の一途を辿ります。

そして今年の9月、ポケットベルは個人向けの通信サービスが終了する見込みです。
