Unless the network is lying to me again, Mike Batchelor said:
Does anyone using verizon paging service via digital celphone know the number for their modems to send pages. Their sales people want use to use email, what's new, but as you know we need pages when the network is down, not up.
What did they say when you told them their answer was inadequate? What did they say when you told them if you didn't get a modem phone number, you were going to cancel your service because it is useless just when it is needed the most?
Most likely the same thing that Cingular said: 1) "well, we don't support that service anymore" 2) "we don't do that, we've never done that" 3) "huh?" 4) "you don't need a modem with your GSM phone, it has one built in" 5) "I've never heard of that, what is it?" Nobody in "customer service" knows what TAP/IXO paging is, and you know what? As long as they have all of the drug-dealers and soccer-moms buying service from them without the need for TAP/IXO, they don't CARE. Now, for an answer, search thru an archive of nanog and find the excel <gah!> spreadsheet that I pointed people to about 2 months ago. It had several hundred TAP/IXO modem numbers... AlanC
