RTL-SDR Pager

RTL-SDR Pager turns your Android phone into a live POCSAG and FLEX pager decoder. Plug in a compatible RTL-SDR USB dongle and start decoding pager traffic instantly — no server, no account, no ads.

DECODE POCSAG AND FLEX, LIVE

• POCSAG at 512, 1200 and 2400 bit/s — choose which rates to decode, or run all three at once

• FLEX at up to 6400 bit/s

• A live, auto-scrolling feed shows every decoded page with timestamp, RIC/capcode, bit rate and message text

WATCHLIST WITH PUSH ALERTS

• Get notified the moment a specific RIC or keyword shows up — even with the app in the background

• Choose whether alerts show the message text or just that something arrived

• Silence a watch without losing it

YOUR OWN CHANNEL LIST

• Save the frequencies you monitor, with names you choose

• Switch channels with one tap

• Import and export your channel list (premium)

BUILT FOR PRIVACY

• Decoded messages are never written to disk — they exist only in memory for the current session

• No account, no cloud sync, no analytics, no ads

• The only things ever saved on your device are your own watchlist and channel list — never anything received over the air

WHAT YOU NEED

• An RTL-SDR USB dongle (RTL2832U-based, e.g. RTL-SDR Blog V3/V4)

• A USB-C to USB-A (OTG) adapter or cable

• Android 10 or later

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE

The app is free to use, with a per-session message allowance. A single one-time purchase removes the limit and unlocks channel-list backup — no subscription.

KNOW YOUR LOCAL LAWS / DISCLAIMER

Pager monitoring rules vary by country. Some paging traffic (e.g. amateur radio) is lawful to receive in many places, while other bands (commercial, emergency services) are not. It is your responsibility to know and follow the laws that apply where you are.
