Nationwide Pagers
Walt Pesch
following to upgrade to:
Pagenet Nationwide Service $29.95/month
72 hr Voicemail $10.00/month
This is renting a Moto Bravo+ ($24/yr insurance). All with MY VERY OWN
800 NUMBER.
This seems too good to be true, I was pricing SkyPager and they were twice
as expensive plus having PINs and all.
Anyone else using this service? To my thinking, this is almost impossible
to pass by.

Make sure they have the 'page recal' function cause there are places that
you are out of range and it is nice to call in a few times a day and see
what pages you missed

First, I use Pagenet but not the services above. However, I was shown the
above services and the prices you quote are on the mark. Pagenet is the best
pager service I've heard of, seen, or experienced to date. Go with it.

Yeah, it's true. I take of the pagers for the tech group in my
company and we went with PageNet about one year ago. We have 22 pagers
in use, 800-numbers on all of them. The nationwide bit is slightly
deceptive. You are often out of range in town under say 100,000. All
major cities are in range so far, and I've been in range on all flights
I've been on. Even if you are not in range, as part of the Nationwide
package, you get numeric retrieval. When you are out of range you can
call the service and retrieve the numbers via phone (we had the service
for months, and just found out about it). In our particular case, th
econvience can't be beat (in the same complex) and the service reps are
a pleasure to work with.

It might be cheaper if you go thru pagenet directly
and watch that $24 dollar insurance even if someone turns your pager in they
still make you pay for your pager and activation again and insurance $75
All nationwide paging systems work the same way you dial the number it goes to
a Satallite which then is picked up by a local transmitter so no matter what
service you use if their is no local service in the area your in you don't
get paged best thing to do is look at the locations of their service on a map
if asked they well generally provide.
