Pagers

Paging is a subscription service offered in a variety of plans and
options to meet the needs of a customer.Upon calling a phone number
assigned to a pager, the calling party would reach a recorded greeting
with an option to leave voice mail or send pager codes.
Numeric pagers are the simplest of the type of devices offering only a
numeric display of the phone number to be called.
Alphanumeric pagers are essentially modified versions of numeric pagers
with sophisticated display to accommodate text. These devices would be
given an e-mail address to receive text messages.
