Just wanted to inform anyone that relies on this for system notifications etc. Skytel lost a satellite feed and all of their 2-Way pagers are down. I called them and they told me that it had been down since 5:00pm CST and they hoped to have it back 'soon'.
There was a satellite failure that has taken out most paging in the US. My AirTouch is also out. I assume that the paging comanies are scrambling to get other access.
Interestingly enough, my Tampa PageNet pager died around the same time, was down at 0300, and was working at 0830. The reason it's interesting is that I'm _not_ a nationwide customer. Their _local_ RF was down. Go figure. CHeers, -- jra -- Jay R.
