Interpage's Paging Services provide an interconnection between the Internet and pagers, cellphones, international SMS mobiles, and other messaging devices. Paging Services are offered in two primary modalities: Individual and Gateway or Group, both of which are outlined below.

Note: For self-dispatch TAP/IXO access to pagers, where messages are distpatched to Interpage via modem-based "self-dispatch" software, and converted to e-mail, sent to pagers, cellphones, SMS, fax, text-to-speech, and other devices, please review the TAP/IXO description on the Ancillary/Self-Dispatch page.

Interpage also offers "numeric dispatch" port access for Touch Tone (DTMF) manual or automated entry and conversion/dissemination to e-mail, pager, cellphone, SMS, fax, text-to-speech, and other devices. The numeric gateway is described in more detail on the DirectPage(sm) page, as well as on the Self-Dispatch overview.

Individual/Personal Accounts

Most individual/Personal (non-group/Enterprise) plans include all of Interpage's basic services, including e-mail paging, automated e-mail retrieval, e-mail forwarding and screening, page screening, autoresponder and page confirmation messages. Customizeable news, weather, and informational services, a personal reminder system, Intertalk(sm) access, full telnet and WWW customization and configuration access are also generally available, some at an additional charge.

Individual/Personal Accounts feature fixed or semi-fixed destination pagers, cellphones, SMS mobiles and/or other messaging devices which are messages when e-mail is received at your Interpage account. Mail may be filtered and screened to only allow certain senders or message content to be transmitted to your messaging device(s), and may be scheduled based on time and day of the week.

InFax(sm) and OutFax(sm) services are also available at the discounted rate of $5 per month for basic service with any individual paging gateway plan.

Enterprise/Group/Multipoint OutPage Accounts

Enterprise Customers which need to send to many different messaging devices and platforms in an ad hoc manner, or who need to utilize Interpage's completely automated paging gateway as a singular account to message to all of their and/or their customer's pagers, cellphones, SMS and other messaging devices, should refer to the Group Rates section in the second table below. A protocol spec sheet for the OutPage procotol is located here.

commitments do not apply to Group VI/006 accounts and pages are sent out as capacity is available.

Outpage(sm) customers who opt for the optional MultiPoint redundancy package pay a per page rate which is a combination of toll and/or per-page rates from the various call centers utilized for their redundant paging application, thus the above rates may be used to compute a cost basis PER SITE for a given MutliPoint Outpage account.

There is a one-time set up fee equivalent to the selected monthly rate basis for all accounts, and a prorated set-up charge may also apply for partial initial months of service. Manual addition/modifications/deletions to stored pagers and/or systems are billed at $5 per addition/modification/deletion.

* Student is half off of the basic monthly rate for any full-time student. Valid student id, paid tuition bill, and/or proof of enrollment required. Student rates can not be applied towards any discounts.

NOTE: (Group/Gateway ONLY): Other group/gateway plans are also available, please inquire for details. Charges may also accrue for pager additions/ modifications (if special/manual configurations are needed; this is not commonly required) and/or for large group accounts' pager storage, please inquire for details. The rate is currently $5 per addition/modification.

NOTE: Effective 01/01/2003, all grandfathered Tier I/Group I paging plans have been transitioned to the posted Tier I/Group I rates. The manual configuration storage rate has decreased to $.39/month and been merged into extant rateplans, above. Please consult the mailing dated 11/18/2002 for details, or review the "Group I" rates, above.

NOTE: There is a $10 set-up fee per Individual account paying by credit card, $15 if payment will be made by check. Group/Multipoint accounts are billed a set-up fee equivalent to one month's service rate basis which will appear on the first month's invoice.

Plan Details

Individual E-Mail to Pager/Mobile/SMS Plans:

*BASIC PLAN: $10.00 per month, with 100 included pages, 10 cents per page overage, and unlimited paging to toll-free pagers or pager numbers. If Interpage can connect to your paging system via Direct Access and/or via a toll-free dispatch number, then effectively the service will be unlimited as the 100 included pages will not be used. Most paging systems in the United States and Canada offer Direct Access and/or toll-free access, therefore, in most cases, the Basic/Individual paging gateway will cost a flat $10 per month. Pages to mobile phones, paging systems/pagers, and other devices outside of the US/Canada are billed at $.50 per page.

*SMS/INTERNATIONAL PLAN: $10.00 per month, and 15 cents per SMS/page. The SMS/International mail and messaging gateway plan allows for any mobile or messaging device capable of receiving SMS messages to receive e-mail, web-based, and other messages via the Interpage SMS Gateway. This plan is well-suited to customers who have non-US/Canadian mobile phones and/or other messaging devices and where the given carrier does not offer an e-mail gateway for SMS messages. While the SMS/International plan is primarily focused on customers who have mobile phones and devices outside of the US/Canada, this plan may be used to message international phones and devices located in the US/Canada and/or US/Canadian mobiles and other devices which have no means to receive messages other than SMS.

*VALUE PLAN: $20.00 per month, with unlimited paging to US/Canadian paging systems. Pages sent to mobile phones, paging systems/pagers, and other devices ouside of the US/Canada will be billed at $.30 per page.

*STUDENT PLAN: Half of the Basic Plan, the Student Plan is rated at $4.95 per month, with free unlimited Direct Access and/or toll-free pages, 100 included non-Direct Access/toll-free pages, and 8 cents per page overage. A current paid tuition bill, student ID, and/or proof of full-time enrollment are required. No discounts will apply to student accounts.

Enterprise Paging Gateway Service Plans:

*Group I Plan: Oriented towards customers who need to access and page many different paging, mobile, or messaging systems in the US/Canada or worldwide (via SMS or direct dial), this plan offers ALL pages (both toll and toll-free) at 10 cents per page for US/Canadian destinations, 25 cents per SMS message, and varied rates for direct access (non-SMS) outside the US/Canada. Charges for manual/customized additions and modifications to pagers listed in your account may apply; storage charges above 100 specially configured pagers may also apply; please inquire for details. Pager pre-registration is not required in nearly all cases.

* Group II Plan: Oriented towards customers who need to access and page many different paging systems in the US/Canada or worldwide (higher per page rates apply) with moderate toll-free use expected from month to month, this plan offers 500 toll-free pages per month, after which each additional toll-free page (eg, from 501 and on) are billed at 8 cents per page. All toll pages are billed at 9 cents per page, SMS messages at 22 cents per page, and varied rates for direct access (non-SMS) outside of the US and Canada. Charges for manual/customized additions and modifications to pagers listed in your account may apply; please inquire for details. Pager pre-registration is not required in nearly all cases.

* Group III, IV, V Plan: Similar to Group II but intended for sites with moderate to heavy usage, offers guaranteed bandwidth for simultaneous messaging (especially useful for paging to numeric paging systems), robust confirmation protocols, real-time billing, and discounted SMS and International messaging rates. Toll and toll-free pages are billed according to the schedule of rates, above. Charges for manual/customized additions and modifications to pagers listed in your account may apply; please inquire for details. Pager pre-registration is not required in nearly all cases.

* Group VI Plan: An OutPage(sm) pricing variant offering unlimited paging to the 50 US States and Washington DC. Customers may send as many pages as they wish in a given calendar month with no per-use or per-message charges. An unlimited plan to Canada is also available. SMS pages are not included and are billed at 25 cents per message. Destinations outside of the US via direct access (non-SMS) will be billed at prevailing International rates posted at the International Rates page. The Unlimited/006 option does NOT offer a time commitment for page delivery; it is designed primarily for ad-hoc use where immediate delivery to a given paging system/terminal is not critical. Although generally pages may be distributed within a few seconds, there may be times that longer delays occur. Customers who require a more specific delivery window may instead opt for plans from Group I to V, which offer dedicated capacity and thus predictable delivery timings. Pager pre-registration is not required in nearly all cases

Users may change billing plans at will, but these changes will not become effective until the first day of the month immediately subsequent to the month in which the change/modification request was made.
