EFFECTIVE USE OF YOUR ULTRA EXPRESS FLX

Y our ULTRA Express FLX pager can help you keep in
contact with everyone important to you—children or
child-care providers, business office personnel, 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 ensure contact at any time, any place.
If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number
instead of your cellular number. Then you can decide
who to call back on your cellular phone, without paying for incoming cellular calls. Using the ULTRA Express FLX pager helps reduce your monthly cellular
phone bill!
