PAGER IDEAS
Include your pager number in your answering machine or voice mail messages. This way, you can receive important
messages immediately.
Give your pager number to friends, family members, and business associates.
When they page you, they can use their
telephone’s keypad to enter a number
where you can reach them. Your pager
displays this number when you receive
the page.
Leave your pager number at your children’s school and with the babysitter so
you can always be reached in an emergency.

messages wi th your family or friends. For example, your children
can include the code 3333 to tell you
they are home from sc hool . Your sp ouse
can send 07734 to say hell o! (Read it upside-down.)
If you have a cellular phone, give your
pager number instead of your cellular
number. You can deci de who to call back
on your cellular phone, without paying
for incoming cellular calls. This can drastically reduce your monthly cellular bill!
