How Does One Call a Pager?

To call a pager, you must call from a phone line, and dial the pager number. A voice recorded message asks you to dial the number for the pager recipient to call back.

1. Call the pager number

   Dial the pager number, and wait for the automated message. The automated message asks you to enter your numeric number after you hear the tone.

2. Leave a callback number

   After the tone or beep, leave a phone number you would like the recipient to use to call you back.

3. Hang up

   You can now hang up, and wait for the pager recipient to call you back.
