[BBLISA] Recommendations for/against paging services?

[Joshua Putnam]

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.

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:
	7815551234 at tmomail.net

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.

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.
