    Someone with better knowledge correct me if I’m wrong, but:

    Hospitals because you don’t need to interact with the pager to see the message it’s beeping about (the doctor’s hands may be occupied and/or they want the quickest possible response)

    Prisons because if a prisoner got hold of a receive-only pager, it’s a lot less of a problem than if they get a two-way phone
