Are beepers untraceable?

Due to the resent events, I hear that beepers work different to how cellphones work, since supposedly, beepers only receive signals but they do not send them. Since RSM has being telling us how cellphone are tracking devices because of the way they work, I wonder if beepers could be a viable substitute.
I've never used a beeper, and I'm guessing that they might have their own problems. So I wanted to ask you guys if you knew.
For instance, I'm guessing the service is no longer available, specially in Mexico where I live, and even if it is, I'm guessing they only work for the city were you live? I mean if I were to travel inside the country it probably wouldn't work out side of my city would they? In conclusion, I'm guessing that coverage probably suck.
Remembering beepers, makes me think on how technologies come and go, and I wonder if there will ever be a good substitute to cellphones which won't track you. I remember RSM asking engineers to come up with a way to stop a cellphone to be traceable, but I haven't here anything came out from that.
Where I live, drugs cartels are a really big problem, and if such solution exist, I'm guessing they would be using it by now.
Now that I think about it, they are also called pagers. And the resent events I was referring to was that it appears they are being weaponized some how to explode.
ah yes I saw some videos about that. Seems best these days to just have nothing.
Although it's very difficult these days.
I do like the idea of swapping the phone for a pager/beeper (anything that replaces a cell phone, really). This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EHzzfqB4uY) was helpful to me understanding pagers. I remember my dad having one but cell phones pretty much wiped them out before I needed a pager.
Since they didn't have any cellular connections, would they receive every page in a broadcast? (but filter out the ones for you)
