I know this was probably discussed when Die Hard 2 first came out, but
I missed that.  So the question I have is:

Why can't you really receive calls on a GTE Airphone?  Is this
something that GTE has chose not to implement or are there other
technical reasons.

Note: The reference to Die Hard 2 is that Bruce Willis calls his wife
after being paged from an Airphone.
