Recipient is synonymous with cell phone or mobile phone, pager, PDA or email address. Recipient refers to the person who is receiving the message on their wireless device or email.

PageGate uses the recipient's name, which remains the same, recipient's carrier and the wireless device's number. Using the recipient's name simplifies any changes to the pager or cell phone number and carrier.

Note: in older versions of PageGate software the term 'user' was used instead of 'recipient'. In recent versions a 'user' is the sender of the text message, and a 'recipient' is the receiver of the text message.
