Believe it. I've been wearing a pager for 8 or 9 years. ( And the current support system is much better than the one in place pre-1999 which invariably meant that you would be called at least 2 or 3 times a week offshift. ) And by the way, I took the job before I took the pager.
The concept that responsible people should be punished for the actions of the irresponsible is anathema to me. Deal with those who cause the problems.
( Covering old ground in this thread ) - When you guys can get people to shut the fuck up, and stop kids from running up and down the stairs, stop the guy behind you from kicking your seat, etc., etc., then you might be on to something. Until then, your theatrical experience is still subject to the vagaries of your fellow theater-goers regardless of the presence or absence of communication electronics, despite the reduced odds of disturbance.
