Anyone using Cingular wireless? (IXO/TAP number request)
I've recently moved to Cingular Wireless (formerly BellSouth Mobility DCS in this area) for "all of my wireless communication needs". They are, however, unable to offer me information regarding an IXO (or TAP) number that I can use to send text pages from a "regular old modem". I've used qpage and hylafax previously (with another paging company), and would REALLY like to get this working (since GMS works amazingly well down in the RF hole where I live). If anyone has contacts with Cingular, or knows where I might find more info (I've done web-searches, and the best I've come up with at this point is http://www.qpage.org/phone-numbers.html which does not list BellSouth DCS *OR* Cingular [but does list some of the other companies that are now part of the "Cingular family"]), please let me know. If it matters, it would be for a phone based out of the "Chapel Hill" dialing area of Central/Eastern North Carolina. Thanks, AlanC {stomping on the boundaries of wireless connectivity} -- Alan B.

Hating as much as I do to follow-up my own posts, there was enough interest in this one that I thought everyone should know the results. I ended up doing an end-run and contacting several companies that write software to do IXO/TAP paging and came up with the following link to an Excel spreadsheet that has nearly 700 TAP pager numbers and additional smtp->pager gateway information. Thanks to the folks at Emergin software for making this list available. http://www.emergin.com/docs/Carriers.xls AlanC

I believe it's <phonenumber>@sbcemail.com - with phonenumber in 10digit format (e.g. 2025551212@sbcemail.com). At least that's what works for the Cellular One system in Greater Boston.

They seem to be working on their new web site - a lot of info that was on the old Cell One site isn't there any more. ************************************************************************** The Center for Civic Networking PO Box 600618 Miles R.
