Q. Can an alphanumeric messaging device accept both word and numeric messages?

A. Yes. An alphanumeric messaging device can be paged with both words and numbers. Whereas a numeric messaging device will accept numeric messages ONLY.

Q. How do I know who sent me a text page?

A. Using traditional alphanumeric paging services, the person paging you must sign his/her message.

Q. Why do I sometimes receive garbled or mixed up text messages on my word messaging device?

A. Messages may occasionally be "garbled" if you are in an area that is receiving a weak signal or the battery in your pager is low. In some instances, there may be something wrong with your messaging device.

Q. Why am I having problems receiving pages in my building?

A. Some buildings are constructed in a way that inhibits the penetration of a paging signal. For instance, some hospital rooms / areas are heavily protected for radiation that the paging signal will not always penetrate the building.

Q. Will my messaging device reach me across the border in Canada?

A. The FCC regulates that our signal only goes to the border. That being said, we cannot stop the signal at the border so you could receive a page in Canada but we do not guarantee this or sell this as a feature.

Q. Is it possible for me to receive pages through the Internet when I am outside the coverage area?

A. No. Although the Internet or email page may be originated from anywhere in the world, you must be in the coverage area to receive pages.

Pager Access Numbers and Voicemail

Q. If I change service providers, can I keep the same phone number I am currently using?

A. No, when you sign up for CVCPaging service, you will receive a unique messaging device number that allows people to page you directly.

Q. How can I enhance my numeric messaging device?

A. Adding VoiceMail to any numeric messaging device enhances it. The caller will hear a voice message telling them they can either leave a voice message or a numeric message at the sound of the tone. With Custom Greeting, the subscriber can leave their own voice greeting.

Q. What if I am out of town? Is there a cost to check my VoiceMail?

A. If you are calling long distance to your messaging device VoiceMail, you will incur long distance charges.

Q. Is there a maximum time messages can be held?

A. Yes, you may select a VoiceMail storage package to meet your message storage needs. Available message storage plans generally range from 8 -48 hours.
