NotePage SMS, Texting and Messaging Blogs

NotePage, Inc. releases a new version of their SMS and text messaging server software.

NotePage, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of PageGate version 7. PageGate is a complete wireless messaging and SMS solution that incorporates a wide variety of messaging protocols for sending messages to mobile phones, wireless devices, fax machines, and pagers.

PageGate allows alerts to be sent instantly to wireless devices in any location. PageGate supports both group messaging and preprogrammed alerts, so that the press of a button can send a notification to or schedule a notification for a defined group of individuals. The new version of PageGate is more powerful and efficient than ever.

PageGate version 7 offers a new, intelligent load-balancing module. This feature enables round robin support and failover support, and supports up to four PageGate servers.

The update also features a brand new, powerful message templating system. This upgrade affords administrators total control over the manner in which outgoing messages are formatted. Templates can also be set at multiple levels, minimizing the number of templates needed. When upgrading from a previous version of PageGate, templates are automatically created.

The new version of PageGate also offers priority settings for recipients and carriers. The administrator may not move messages to certain recipients or carriers to the front of the delivery queue.

Additionally, PageGate now supports STMP SSL TLS and STARTTLS for SMTP connections, making it better able to support secure and encrypted connections for message delivery. PageGate also now features a carrier level default domain for the SMTP protocol, an addition that saves administrators time when setting up new recipients, and even more time when switching recipients to a new carrier. SMTP relay servers may also be set on a by-carrier basis, allowing multiple outgoing maths for different SMTP carriers.

Most of us know when to discard, recycle, or compost the items we're parting with, but it seems that many of us are at a loss as to how to dispose properly of our cell phones when we no longer need them. If you are unsure of how to get rid of an old phone, this article will guide you through the process.

Before actually disposing of your phone, it is important to remove your information from it, as phones tend to allow access to sensitive, personal information.

If  you have accidentally deleted some or all of your text messages by mistake, fret not! You can get them back with a 99% chance of success, but there' is one ingredient that is most important: time!
