The “Retro Pager” is an immersive messaging system for your FiveM QB-Core server – inspired by the iconic beepers and pagers of the 80s/90s. Every player gets a unique pager number and can send/receive short messages, manage contacts, and reply just like in real life. Perfect for retro roleplay, volunteer groups, underground communications, or any creative scenario! 

✅ Authentic Pager Experience: Send and receive messages just like with a real pager device.
✅ Unique Pager Number: Every pager receives an automatic, unique number – no duplicates.
✅ Full Messaging System: Send short messages to any pager number on the server.
✅ Built-in Contacts: Manage and store pager numbers with custom names.
✅ Direct Reply: Instantly reply to received messages right in the pager menu.
✅ Message & Contact Deletion: Delete old messages or remove contacts anytime.
✅ Real Notifications: Incoming messages trigger the iconic pager beep (choose between local or 3D sound for nearby players).
✅ Flexible Sound Integration: Choose between local client sound or xsound (others nearby can hear the alert!).
✅ No Job Restriction: The pager can be used by any player – not limited to specific jobs or departments!
✅ Optimized for QB-Core: Fully uses QB-Core inventory, events and config system.
✅ Retro-Style UI: Intuitive pager UI, openable with a single key (default: O).
✅ Highly Configurable: All texts, limits, and sounds can be tweaked in config.lua.
✅Customization: You can easily adapt notifications and inventory functions to your own scripts.
✅ Automatic Number Assignment: Pager numbers are automatically generated the first time the device is used.
✅ SQL Supported: All messages and contacts are saved in the database.

How it Works

1. Add the Pager item to your inventory. The first time you use it, it will be assigned a unique pager number.

2. Open the pager menu with the default key (O).

3. Send messages to any pager number, store contacts, or check your inbox.

4. When you receive a message, the pager beeps and displays the message (including sender number or contact name).

5. Instantly reply, manage contacts, or delete old messages.

Bring the authentic pager feeling back to your RP!
Much more immersive than Discord or cellphones.
