This is in spoken English. Phased out means " an act of planned discontinuation or expiration. "
i.e. Generally when companies come up with upgraded versions of electronics, they "phase out" the older versions slowly. Phasing out is planned and a slow process.
In the sentence, it is told that Beepers were gradually discontinued from production since Cell phones was a better means of communication and were beginning to be used much more.

That's a perfectly understandable and grammatically correct English sentence- both in writing and in spoken English. :)
