- This was released in.
- 1989.
- And did this have a what is I don't know SIM or?
- This is a pager.
SIMs are only in phones and only 2G which wasn't launched 'til '91.
- Okay so how's information stored on it?
- It's a basic data chip built into the pager itself.
- And these chips held how much data?
- Very little.
Maybe the last 20 messages.
- Were they just numbers or.
- Oh, no it's alpha numeric.
So it can receive messages 29 characters long.
- Okay so given what I've told you and where it's been for the last however many years what do you think the chances are that we could pull any data off it?
- What we need to do is source a working version of this model.
- How do we do that?
- eBay.
Yeah and then we take the data chip from this pop into the working version and see what we get.
- But it's possible?
- It's a microchip made of silicon.
Anything's possible.
