Does anyone know if a such thing as a pager-style device exists that instead of proprietary or non-working old pager networks, it uses standard SMS messages over the GSM network? I was thinking besides obvious stuff like simple QWERTY GSM phones, though I guess the closest thing to such a device would be something like the Motorola V101 or A009 which had voice support but was mainly designed for just SMS.
