Is it still possible to buy an old fashioned pager that works?

I mean the kind of thing that doctors took to concerts back in the 1970s that vibrates to let you know to phone a number...? Where would you get one and how would you activate it? Do they still exist? How do they work?

still had one in use 5 years ago. they tend to be able to get signal through to places where a cell may or can not work. I suspect they're still out there. I'm not sure what you mean by 'how do they work'. it's pretty similar to a cell phone texting. the better ones have a transmitter to respond back to the tower that the message made it.
