Email to cell phone is what my company uses, as well. It works well for us.
We also have overnight staff who watch the email and awaken the on-call staff as needed. My girlfriend works for a collective of massage therapists that use actual pagers to sync their schedules. If you're still interested in an actual pager, I can find out the details. :) Josh Putnam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Ned Harvey Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 7:13 PM To: 'Back Bay LISA' Subject: RE: [BBLISA] Recommendations for/against paging services? This might not be quite what you're looking for, but what I use is email to the phone. Nearly every mobile phone allows you to receive email there. I know that t-mobile is like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nobody can remember that (including me) so I just create a forwarding alias, pager -at- mydomain.com, which gets emails to my cell phone whenever there's an emergency of some kind. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Moskowitz Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:51 PM To: Back Bay LISA Subject: [BBLISA] Recommendations for/against paging services? I may need to find a paging service provider. At a minimum I need alphanumeric paging; if they would rent me a pager at a reasonable price that would be even better. Local coverage (everything east of 413 area code) is probably all I need but if they offered nationwide for not too much more I'd consider it. I don't need 2-way paging, but so-called "1.5-way" (outgoing messages only, but the pager send an ACK so the system knows the message was received) would be better. Any have a service they like or don't like? Thanks, AdamM P.S. - No, SMS to my cell phone is not an option. P.P.S. - Yes, I actually do want a pager that's physically separate from my phone/PDA/watch/laptop/puppy/etc. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
