The new message remains with the latest time stamp and the older message is deleted. TONE ONLY - appears when a page is received without numeric data. PAGER IDEAS Give your pager number to friends and family. When they call your pager number, they can use their phone's touch-tone keypad to enter the number where you can reach them. Your pager displays this number when you receive the page. You are in touch wherever you go in your PageMart coverage area. Include your pager number on your telephone answering machine greeting. This way you can immediately receive important messages. Leave your pager number at your children's school and with the babysitter so you can always be reached in an emergency. Establish code messages with your family and friends. For example, your children can page you with the code 3333 to tell you they got home from school. Your spouse can send 07734 to say hello! (Read it upside-down.) If you have a cellular phone, give out your pager number instead of your cellular number. Then you can decide who to call back on your cellular phone, without paying for incoming cellular calls. This can drastically reduce your monthly cellular bill. (/all-01/11/96)
