Text and Numeric Paging
Your new Nextel Phone offers Text and Numeric Paging allowing
callers to send you a page displayed directly to your phone. Nextel
Paging helps keep you in touch with co-workers and customers,
regardless of where you travel on the Nextel National Network.
Whether it’s your office calling with a last minute schedule change, or a
customer trying to reach you with an important question, you’ll be able
to retrieve and respond to pages immediately, all from your Nextel
phone.
