Nationwide pager

[crazy]

What's the best nationwide pager to use out there? Do you like
yours and if so what is the cost and a phone number to contact the company.

I've had good luck with WebLink Wireless (formerly PageMart). They offer a plan with guaranteed messaging (when it's off or you're out of the area, it will keep resending until your pager responds that it received it). I bought the Motorola PF1500 advanced word pager. Service plans vary, about $15/month, $5 more for an 800#, and you can get e-mail on it too. WWW.weblinkwireless.com

We had Satellink and were very unhappy with it. If a page was sent at the exact moment that you lost the signal, you were out of luck -- unless your company was aware of the problem and sent mulitple pages. Even then, you weren't guaranteed to receive all pages.

You can probably find cheaper services, but i would highly suggest taking LittleBigTruck's recommendation on this one.

Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

cue pager is about the best, for nation wide coveage
they also offer company discounts if you have alot of user
somewhere between 35.00 to 60.00 depending on number of user's
check any trucking newspaper or mag for phone number

Don't get Sattellink. As WendyCal stated, it SUCKS! Never works when you want it to and uses about 5 batteries a month. I threw mine right out of my truck one day.
