Some pagers are only capable of displaying numbers (no letters). These are commonly called numeric or digital pagers (beepers). WebGate fully supports numeric pagers. If a message is sent to a numeric pager, and the message contains letters, the recipient's notification code (999 by default) is sent instead. This alerts the recipient that they have been sent a message that was alphanumeric in nature, and they should take steps to retrieve the actual message. *Note: this option is very popular with WebGate's email gateway. Recipients with numeric pagers can be notified if they receive an email message (Email Notification). They can then connect to the Internet and check their email.
