System Options
Pagers are all activated by being programmed through our main computer system. There are a number of options (like voice mail!) that you can add to you pager to enhance it's features for you. Send us an e-mail and we can just program it for. You immediately get the feature and it saves you the need to drive in!

If you already have an option on your pager and need instructions, follow the link on the side for Option Info. It will tell you how to record your custom greeting, access your voice mail and even how to re-transmit your pages!

Options Available

  •  Custom Greeting

When a caller dials your pager, they get to listen to a custom recording in your own voice. Eg. "You have reached Mike Shantz & associates, Please leave your message at the sound of the tine and we will get right back to you" See Option info for instructions.

 

  • Append Greeting

Is a more economical version of Custom Greeting. Rather than the entire message being custom, you are allowed to add your name onto a generic message. “Please leave your message for John Smith

 

  • Voice Mail   

Callers can leave a regular voice message. The pager is alerted and the person carrying the pager the knows to check their voice mail. It's like an answering machine in your pocket! See Option info for instructions.

 

  • Numeric Mail Box

If you are concerned that you might miss a page, with this option you can call into your pager mailbox and have the computer announce the numbers that were paged out to you. See Option info for instructions.

 

  • Sequence Numbering

If you are concerned that you might miss a page, with this option every message is stamped with a "sequence" number from 0 to 32 and then back to 0. If you notice that you have received message 4,5,7 then you know that you have missed message number 6. Call into the numeric mailbox and either listen to the message or have it retransmitted.

 

  • Re-Transmit Messages

If you have been out of range and are concerned you may have missed a page this is for you. When you return to a location where you know you are in range you can call up your pager and using some simple codes have your message re-transmitted out to you. Requires the numeric mailbox option above to operate. See Option info for instructions.

 

  • Networking

Your pager can work in Sudbury, North Bay and Timmins and you can access all areas with a single local call.  No long distance charges and great coverage!

 

  • Repeat Page

If you normally are in a "fringe" area then we can set your pager up so that when it is called, it will alert a second or a third time to increase your chances or receiving those important calls.

 

  • Repeat Voice

If you have a voice pager and sometimes miss the message or just didn't have enough time to write down the phone number then this is for you. We program your pager to alert once but have the voice message sent out to you twice!

 

  • Pre-Programmed Messages

You can get full text messages from a touch tone phone. If you have a alphanumeric pager, anyone can call you from any touch tone telephone and send you a full text message.  Gt the real information immediately.        FREE!             FREE!             FREE!             FREE!

 

  • Toll Free Numbers

For a small bit extra per month you can get a personal “Toll Free” number which activates your pager and gives you 50 free calls from anywhere in the US and Canada.  Overcalls are at $0.24 each.

 

  • Page Forwarding

If you have a voice mailbox and someone you know has a voice mailbox as well, for only $0.50 per month you can have page forwarding. This means that if someone leaves a message for you, and it should be for someone else, you can just copy it into the other person’s mailbox without having to write the message down and calling back.

 

  • Page until Pick-up (PUP)

This means that a call comes in, it is sent out to the pager and simultaneously put in the voice mailbox. The user has to call in to “tell” the system that he received the page. If he doesn’t, the system will continue to page him up to twenty (20) times. The repeat sequence terminates when either the PUP repetitions have completed their cycle, or when the user calls in and interrupts the sequence by retrieving a message, which ever comes first.

 

  • Group Call

You can have up to fifteen (15) other pagers automatically alerted in sequence along with your pager.  Firemen, sales & service, medical teams etc.

 

  • Greeting Only

If you just want to play an informational message of up to three minutes in length we can do that

 

  • Mailbox Only

Callers can listen to your Custom Greeting (extended time included) and leave a message that stays in storage for up to twenty four (24) hours.           

 

  • Internet Alphapage Alert

We can issue you an e-mail address that you can send a copy of all your Internet mail to. When someone sends you an e-mail within 5 minutes your pager goes off and you see who it was sent from, the subject line and depending on the type of message up to the first 100 lines of information. No more checking you mail waiting for a message!!
