A “bipper” is another word for a beeper or pager, which was a small electronic device used before the widespread popularity of cell phones. It allowed people to receive and send messages through a numerical code system.
In earlier times, before cell phones became common, a bipper, also known as a beeper or pager, was a portable device people used to receive messages. When someone needed to contact a person with a bipper, they would dial a specific number associated with that bipper, and it would emit a beeping sound, alerting the person to check the message. The received messages were usually numeric codes that corresponded to pre-set meanings or simple call-back numbers.
Example 1: “Back in the 90s, everyone was walking around with bipper clipped to their belt or tucked into their pocket.”
Example 2: “I remember when my parents used to beep my bipper when they wanted me to come home. It was like a primitive form of texting.”
