Can pagers receive text messages? I thought they are closed ecosystems, basically?
you know i'm not sure.
What i want is a phone that is basically a beeper for text messages. Doesn't even have to send. just receive the stupid OTP. I wonder how hard that'd be to make with like a raspberri pi or something
