Pager Technology

In a world full of iPhones, Androids, and BlackBerry's, where do pagers fit in? PagePlus in Glendale, Arizona shows that pagers are still very much alive and well, and shows how customer service paves the way in the industry.

Glendale, AZ (PRWEB) January 8, 2010 -- While the rest of the world is busy selling the latest iPhone or BlackBerry, PagePlus is continuing to witness unrivaled growth in business providing a wireless service that many might have dismissed years ago—pagers.

The wireless industry has witnessed an explosion in popularity that has only been rivaled by the advent of Internet technology. Wireless, however, has recently come to mean almost exclusively mobile phones and other mobile computing devices, like netbooks. So where do pagers fit into this wireless mix today?

From the traveling businessman who still longs for the simplicity of on-demand message delivery without having to “take his own call” to the traditional on-call doctor, one would be surprised to see that pagers are still around, and quite alive! Perhaps not as glamorous or shiny as Apple’s latest touchscreen device, but leading pager manufacturers like Motorola or Apollo are still releasing new technologies in numerical and alphanumeric beepers, such as two-way capabilities (send and receive text messages) and built-in FM radios (for music and communication on the go).

Most people have probably used a pager recently without knowing it, too. Most high volume restaurants now use in-house paging systems disguised as drink coasters that flash and vibrate when a seat becomes available. Not only is it an effective way to control long lines, but it has also become a great way for restaurants to create incremental revenue through advertising on the coaster.

In today’s paging industry it seems there are companies out there who raise their prices every year. There are companies who lure people in with insanely low prices or a free month or two for signing up with them. These are tactics that PagePlus does not practice. PagePlus is America's largest paging master reseller and have a reputation for consistent customer satisfaction, known for having raised prices only once in the last 12 years. PagePlus has acheived number one status with consistent, fair and honest pricing. PagePlus prides itself on excellent customer service. As one of the last paging companies out there that has a full staff to answer phones, PagePlus is there when the customers need their provider. Other companies will leave customers listening to an automated answering machine – not good service.

PagePlus has acquired over 300 paging companies in the last two years alone. This is because alot of these companies misled their customers by offering really low pricing and then disapearing with their money and the pagers were turned off. PagePlus stepped in to get the pagers reactivated and give the customer a chance to keep their number.

Often times people are surprised that their pager was turned off and they had nowhere to turn to to get there service restored. PagePlus feels that this is a valuable service to the community and continues to maintain this level of customer dedication.

Why raise prices ever? That’s the question many people ask their wireless providers. PagePlus president Bob Beletz answers, “The reason for our last increase two years ago was because with less people using pagers and the same amount of infrastructure needed to maintain a solid network costs had to be increased. This includes rent for transmitters and tower space on mountains, technicians to service these sites, licenses, government fees, etc. are all entered into the equation. With less people using the facilities it is obvious the costs have to be recouped somewhere. We believe that with our volume of customers we can still afford to keep our costs low enough so they are reasonable and fair. Of course there are some people who have been spoiled by the low prices that their "old" company offered. We ask "where is your old company?" and the answer we hear the most is "They are out of business." If our prices don't get raised by the Carrier why would we raise our prices to our customers.”

Are pagers around for good? Quite possibly so. While the mainstream media might only hail droids and apples, PagePlus is showing Glendale, AZ and the rest of the United States that they’re going to stay around for the count. At the very least, it’s affordable, and that’s something anyone can relate to in this economy.
