Whoa, wait a sec.
You're not by chance under the impression that we had cellphones in 1988?
The landline phone # for the Fujinuma household is already known, and all Satoru would need is Kayo's grandma's # later on.
Pagers (known in Japan as Poke-bells) were around, but I've never had one growing up in the late 80s in Japan, nor do I remember any other kids having one. At least not until highschool.
And I was a city slicker in a MUCH higher populated Osaka, unlike the remote wherever nowhereland in Hokkaido this is taking place in.
Heck it was even before internet was a thing, we didn't even have e-mails to exchange!
