Whats the difference between using a CAP-CODE set up and using a pager email address to subscribe my pager?
While the CAP CODE method works faster, delivering the bulletin to all pagers 100 or 100,000 simultaneously, both methods will deliver reduced text weather messages to your pager. The email method does not require the owner of the pager to have any programming changes made to the pager, and it will work with ANY pager service that has an email gateway for their pager users. Even if you work out a deal with the major pager provider for your area to have CAP CODES programmed, other pagers can still use the WeatherWarn service via the email signup. The benefit that CAP CODES have is delivery speed, and it gets people to come into the store, a big selling point for turning a pager company into a sponsor. Also, if you arrange to have an exclusive CAP CODE setup with all major pager providers in your area, you’ll squeeze out any potential competition from other TV stations that may try to come up with their own service because your service will always be FIRST and FASTEST!
