PAGER IDEAS
Include your pager number in your answering machine
or voice mail messages. This way, you can receive im-
portant 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.

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 in-
coming cellular calls. This can drastically reduce your
monthly cellular bill!
