Let us know if the pager is a numeric or alpha numeric. Also, if it is a text capable pager...Will you want us to program it with text service capability (extra cost feature) or just numeric service?
Rate plans are listed here: PagersDirect Rate Plans
2) Your pager's capcode:
The capcode will look something like this: E001234567 or A1234567 or 1234567 or E001234567-F1 or just numbers with no letters such as 0333456 (if numbers with no letters, please note if the "baud rate" is listed on the back pager label such as 1200 or 2400.
Please note the capcode WILL NOT HAVE letters and numbers intermingled, so if you see a code like: A06QBB5806AA or 36BDCL38DD or LX696FT4002, these are not capcodes
3) Pager frequency: (For reference, the pager's frequency will look something like this: 929.6125mhz or 929.6625mhz) Note that the frequency number has 3 digits then a decimal point and then 4 more digits and sometimes followed by the letters MHZ (megahertz) As mentioned above, PagersDirect is only able to reconnect frequencies: 929.6125 and 929.6625, if the frequency listed on the back of your pager is not one of these 2 frequencies...STOP, we cannot reactivate your pager. Save time and order a pager at www.pagersdirect.net and use your old pager as a trade in to get 3 additional months of service free with any of our annual 1way numeric or alpha numeric service plans.
4) Your First and Last Name
5) Your address, city/state/zip and the best way to contact you.
It is important that we have your location to help us determine if there is paging coverage in your area.
We normally can determine if your pager can or cannot be activated within 1 business day of your email. You may contact us via phone, email or instant message 1 business day after your request and we will let you know if your pager can be reactivated.
If you are not sure which paging carrier your pager was previously connected with, here are some pointers:
Many local paging shops as well as internet pager dealers may have their own logos or names printed on the pagers and may have even sent you bills, but most are actually using a major paging carrier paging system such as Metrocall, so if your pager says "Beepers.com", "Metrotel", " 2waygadgets" or "Galaxy Paging" or any other beeper retailer, it may still be able to be activated through PagersDirect as long as the actual paging carrier was one of the carriers mentioned at the top of this page.
The capcode and frequency numbers are normally located on the back of your pager. Sometimes a pager has been recased or reprogrammed with a different pager capcode and/or frequency than what it listed on the pager. If this is the case, we may not be able to reactivate the pager without knowing the actual pager information.
If you need help identifying your pager's capcode and/or frequency numbers, please call PagersDirect at 1-877-472-4370 between 12noon and 6pm eastern time.
