Types of Pagers
There are three types of pagers available under the existing contract:
Numeric - Displays numeric messages up to 10 digits. Numeric pages can be sent by dialing the pager number and using the telephone keypad or by email. Numeric pagers can only receive numbers.
Alphanumeric - Displays alphanumeric pages up to 240 characters. Pagers can receive text messages by going to Outlook or any email application and enter 314245XXXX@archwireless.net. All alphas have voice mail feature and some have data cast. Of course you can also page by entering the number on a telephone keypad if you have no need for text messaging. Alphanumeric or numeric pages can be sent by email.
2-Way - Displays alphanumeric pages up to 240 characters. Integrated keyboard allows messages to be sent. If the pager is turned off or out of the service area, the paging system will deliver the messages when the pager is turned back on or when it returns to the service area. Numeric pages can be sent by dialing the pager number and using the telephone keypad. Alphanumeric or numeric pages can be sent by email.
