cant send a text message

[Notepage rookie]

I have been trying for about a week now and cant seem to figure out how to send a text message to my cell phone. I have used modem with a tap I tried all the tap numbers for nextel and still can't send it. I even tried using the internet but that didn''t work either. I just cant seem to figure notepager pro out what do you think I am doing wrong.

In the other thread, my last post was a question as to which carrier you were trying to use so I could tell you how to set up the right carrier and how to edit and add recipients for that carrier. So, which carrier are you trying to use?

the carrie I am trying to use is Nextel, but in the near future I will probably have to send to other carries like verizon, sprint or cingular. Tell me how to setup nextel first and that might help my knowledge with trying to setup the others.

Fortunately, Nextel does support the SNPP protocol - the fastest and most reliable of the online protocols.

Here's how you'll want to set up Nextel, or any other carrier for that matter:

1) Browse to our website: http://www.notepager.com

2) Click on the Support section on the left hand column.

3) Browse through the SNPP, WCTP, and SMTP sections of the website until you find the carrier you need to set up (In this example, Nextel).

4) In the program, you'll want to go to Carriers and Add.

5) You can name the carrier whatever you like, though I suggest staying with a naming convention that's easy to follow such as NextelSNPP. Please note that you cannot have spaces in the carreir name.

6) Once you've entered the name for the carrier, you'll need to change the protocol. Change the protocol to whichever type you selected or found in Step #3, in this case SNPP.

7) The SNPP host for Nextel is: pecos.nextel.com

8) For Nextel, there is no password, the character limit is 240, and there is no message limit.

9) Now that you have all of the carrier information entered, you'll want to click on Add.

That's how you add a carrier. Adding a recipient is a great deal easier, sincde you simply have to select the carrier the recipient is intended to use and enter either the email address of the device you need to send to (IF the recipient is set to use an SMTP based carrier) or the ID/PIN for the device.

Thanks that helped I got the message through. Now I dind't see any carrier info for Sprint or cingular and verizon only had one for pager were can I find there cell phone carrier info. Also How do I reate groups?

Also if those wireless companies don't carry SNPP how do I use TAP numbers to send text messages to a cell phones

[Tech Support]

Well, as I mentioned in my last post, for different carriers, you'll want to do this:

1) Browse to our website: http://www.notepager.com

2) Click on the Support section on the left hand column.

3) Browse through the SNPP, WCTP, and SMTP sections of the website until you find the carrier you need to set up.

All you have to do after that is add in a carrier that uses the appropriate protocol.

As for groups, in the program, go to Groups and Add. Simply select the recipients you want to be in the group and add them. Then, in your recipients list, you'll see (g)Groupname. If you select that "recipient", you'll be sending a page to the group you've created.

As for how to use a TAP Carrier, do you have a modem? TAP Transmissions can generally only be sent out by your computer using your modem to dial one of the carrier's TAP Messaging Terminals.

When using SMTP how long is the normal rely time for it to be sent to a cell phone. The other to protocols dont have many of the main big wireless carriers, so I would probably have to use the SMTP to contact those outside of the Nextel network. Also for SMTP do you need an email address for each recipient for them to be able to send them cell phone text messages.

[Tech Support]

The amount of time it takes for an SMTP message to be 'accepted' by a carrier from NotePage and the time it's delivered to the device entirely depends on the carrier itself. The average time, though, is anywhere from thirty seconds to two minutes.

Yes, you do need an email address for each recipient that you want to send SMTP messages to.
