PageGate What is New - See the highlights of what is new with PageGate version 8 https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-what-is-new.htm

Filter Pack
PageGate has a new optional Filter Pack available! The Filter Pack is incredibly powerful and significantly enhances and expands what PageGate can do.  The PageGate Filter Pack is used in conjunction with the Command Line ASCII Interface, enabling PageGate to pass all messages through a customizable filter. This gives PageGate the power to completely reformat the contents of, or extract data from the original message text.  Extracting message data from textual data formats like HTML, XML, JSON, etc. is possible using the Filter Pack. 

With PageGate's new filter pack, you can even poll information from any web resource that provides XML content or a web API that can provide polled information. For example, PageGate can be configured to poll the National Weather Service for weather in your area, the weather can then automatically be sent out as a text message to recipients or groups. https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-filter-pack.htm

AT&T 2G
On 1/1/2017, AT&T terminated 2G service. If you have a 2G cellular device such as a cellular modem, those devices will no longer function and you must upgrade to a 3G or 4G device. 

As far as replacements go, while there are many different makes and models of cellular modem available, our clients have had the best experience with cellular modem hardware made by a company called Multitech (www.multitech.com) and good examples of their hardware are the MTC-H5 (http://www.multitech.com/models/92506945LF) and the rCell 100 (http://www.multitech.com/brands/multiconnect-rcell-100-series).
