I have pager with both an individual ID and a “group” number. When we page the group ID, everyones unit goes off. How does this work?
Pagers can be configured to respond to more than one capcode. It is also possible for the paging vendor’s equipment to send out the same page to multiple capcodes simultaneously. The advantage to the former is that it does not waste (sometimes crowded) airtime. The advantage to the latter is that it works with all pagers and allow re-configuration of groups, sometimes by the users themselves. • How do these sports or news services available by pager work? In the case of dedicated services, many pagers may be distributed with the same capcode, or pager may be distributed that respond to multiple capcodes so individual messages can be received as well as information broadcasts sent to all pagers. More typically, a news, sports or weather service will allow a user to register on the web, specifying an email address where the text messages are sent and if the user chooses, this will be the address of a wireless device. • I was given a pager and I was wondering how I could use it?
