Getting the Most Out Of Your FreeSpirit Pager:
Give your pager number to friends and family.
When they call your pager number, they enter the
number where they can be reached on a touch
tone keypad.Thisnumberisthendisplayed onthe

the page. You can then call them back, allowing
you to be in touch wherever you go.

swering machine message.Thenyou canreceive
important messages immediately–without calling
in to your answering machine.
Leave your pager number at your children’s
schoolandwiththebabysittersoyoucanalways
be reached, right away, in an emergency.
Establish “code” messages with your family or
friends. For example, your children can page you
withthe code 3333 to tell you they got home from
school, or 2222 means they went to their friends’
house.Be creative!
If you have a cellular phone, give out your pager
number instead of your cellular number.Then you
