Local Phone Number - Available in most cities, this provides you with a local 7-digit telephone number to service your pager. If you choose wide-area or nationwide coverage, callers may still use your local number to page you even when you are out of town!
Personal 800 (or 888) Number - This provides your out-of-town callers with a convenient way of paging you toll-free. This type of number may be required if you live in an area not served by local numbers (such as smaller cities in a covered region). Please note that 888 numbers are only accessible from the U.S. (not from Canada) but do carry a discount for overcalls.
Voice Mail Options
There are several voice mail options for added convenience. Voice mail allows callers to leave a voice message that can be played back by you. Callers also have the option to key in their telephone number for display on your pager. Voice mail is priced depending on the type of access number you have and where you live.
Small-Talk Voice Mail Allows callers to leave up to 5 voice mail messages not exceeding 20 seconds. Your pager will notify you when messages are waiting, and you can retrieve them from a touch-tone phone. Small-Talk messages are retained for 12 hours.
