What happened to airtouch paging?

Airtouch Paging was a telecommunications company that provided paging services in the United States. In the late 1990s, it merged with several other companies and became part of Verizon Communications after its acquisition by Bell Atlantic, which later rebranded itself as Verizon. The rise of mobile phones led to a decline in the paging industry, and Airtouch Paging's services were eventually phased out as consumer demand shifted away from paging technology.
