It typically goes like this, I think:

You and your friend get separated in the airport.

You go to a paging phone (usually white) and dial 0. You tell the operator your friend\'s name and where you are waiting for him.

The operator makes an announcement on the PA and either tells your friend where to meet you or asks your friend to go to a paging phone and get your location over the phone.
