For the last 8 years I had pager alert on my cellphone voice mail .How it worked is when a voice mail was left it would automaticaly alert my pager. It was automatic it worked grate no buttons to press a technological marvel.Now that I am being forced to upgrade my cell service my provider tells me that it is no longered offered or needed . They did not ask me. Where I work and there are places so loud that you cant hear the cell phone or the pager . There are places in my state that cell phones dont work. What amazes me is that you would think with all the bells and whistles on cellphones these days you would think they could put pager alert on cellular voice mail.This WAS a grate system because to reach me if you called the house it would forward to the cell phone and then on to the voice mail an a aleret was sent to the pager or call the cell and it to was forwarded. NO one needed to know my pager number. I did check with all the national providers in my area with no success.
