PAGER IDEAS
Include your pager number in your answering ma-
chine or voice mail messages. This way, you can re-
ceive important messages immediately.
Leave your pager number at your children’s school
and with the babysitter so you can always be reached
in an emergency.
Establish code messages with your family or friends.
For example, your children can include the code 3333
to tell you they are home from school. Your spouse
can send 07734 to say hello! (Read it upside-down.)
If you have a cellular phone, give your pager number
instead of your cellular number. You can decide who
to call back on your cellular phone, without paying for
incoming cellular calls. This can drastically reduce
your monthly cellular bill!
