Effective Use of Your ULTRA Express Pager
Your ULTRA Express pager can help you keep in contact
with everyone important to you . . . children or child care
providers, business office, data services, and voice mail.
Be sure your children’s school, physician, and friends
have the number so you can be contacted in emergencies.
Give your pager number to family, friends, and associates
to assure contact at any time, any place. When calling
your pager number, they enter the number where the y can
be reached on a tone-type keypad. This number is then
displayed on your ULTRA Express pager.
If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number instead of your cellular number. Then y ou can decide who to
call back on your cellular phone, without paying f or incoming cellular calls. Using the ULTRA Express pager helps
reduce your monthly cellular phone bill!
