EFFECTIVE USE OF YOUR ULTRA EXPRESS FLX PAGER
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!
