Effective Use of Your Pager
Your pager can help you keep in contact with everyone important to you . . . your children or child care
providers, business associates, data services, and
voice mail. Be sure that y our children’s school, physician, and friends have the number to contact you in
emergencies.
Give your pager number to family, friends, and associates to assure contact at any time, any place. When
they call your pager number, they enter the number
where they can be reached on a tone-type telephone. This number is then displayed on your 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, without paying for incoming cellular
calls. Your pager can help reduce your monthly cellular phone bill!
Include your pager number on your business cards
and on your answering machine or voice mail message.
