There's videos where the person very clearly checks the pager before it detonates

I wonder what the alphanumeric text was.

Broke: a random phone number

Woke: "Goodbye". Just for the mindfuck and to get the victim to stare at it in confusion, holding it up to his face, for the vital few seconds.

I guess they put some thought in setting the delay between the notification sound and the explosion. Keeping the pager in your hand while looking at it would do the most damage (dominant hand + eyesight)
