Ad-Hoc messages are messages that are sent to a recipient that isn't actually setup on the PageGate Server. By using Ad-Hoc, messages can be sent to a recipient by choosing the recipient's paging carrier (by choosing the carrier's ad-hoc recipient that must already be setup in PageGate) and providing the ID/PIN number for the recipient's pager (or other wireless messaging device). Ad-Hoc recipients that have been setup in PageGate will show up at the beginning of the 'Recipient List' and will have the text '(A)' before their name. If you choose an Ad-Hoc recipient, you will be prompted for the recipient's ID/PIN number before the entry is moved into the 'Selected Recipients List'. Note: the Ad-Hoc message feature is not available unless you own a 5000 pager license or greater.
