Interpage's DirectPage(sm) Service provides a single, personal, local number for e-mail,
paging, voicemail, operator/receptionist calls, and even faxes! Multiple e-mail addresses, pagers,
cellphones, and other devices can be notified when a page, voicemail, or
fax is received, and users may customize paging notification schedules to
page only the e-mail address(es), pager(s), fax machines, cellphones or landline phones as needed.
With DirectPage, you are always in control of all your pagers and messaging
devices, and never have to give out different contact numbers in order for people to easily reach you!
Local access numbers are available throughout the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Japan and Asia, with many plans offering unmetered, flat-rate service.

DirectPage
Overview
DirectPage service from Interpage consolidates all of your pagers (alpha,
numeric, and alpha-capable cellphones and International GSM mobiles), e-mail accounts, voicemail
and even fax numbers in to one unified, customizable number.
A DirectPage number serves as a "front end" to allow you to control
which one (or more) of your e-mail addresses, pagers, telephones, or other devices you are notified on, when you are notified,
and from whom. DirectPage offers a local, personal access number with a standard numeric pager greeting prompting callers to Touch Tone a numeric message, which can then be sent to one or more e-mail addresses, numeric pagers, alpha pagers, mobile phones, fax destinations, and/or verbally relayed via Text-to-Speech OutVoice Service synthesis to cellphones or landline voice numbers.
If you are part of a workgroup or on-call response team, DirectPage can provide
a single point of contact for all of your on-call personnel
and allow you to schedule which pager will be paged at a given time or date,
so that your customers need only one number to reach the current "on
call" pager. (Alternately, all pagers in your group may be notified by
a single page.)
Some DirectPage accounts also offer fully featured voice (and optional fax) mailboxes with customized greetings and menu prompts.
DirectPage access numbers are generally available in every area code in the US and Canada. International numbers are available in the UK, most European countries, Japan, and most of Asia. Please contact Interpage for complete details on coverage and availability of local DirectPage access numbers.
You may also forward your calls
from another area, or from an 800/Toll-Free number, to any DirectPage number.
* A local, personal access number in nearly any US/Canadian area code with e-mail notification, and (optional) re-transmission to numeric and alpha pagers, voice phones and voicemail via text-to-speech voice synthesis, as well as fax dispatch for hard copy printouts of received pages. Local Access numbers are also available internationally in the UK, Europe, Japan and many other Asian countries.
* Connect up to 10 pagers or cellphones, 10 e-mail addresses, and 10 fax machines or landline telephone (voice) and/or cellphone numbers to be notified when a page or message is received.
* Schedule and prioritize, via Web-based and/or Telnet access, which pagers, e-mails, and other devices receive notification when a page or message is received (or have all of them notified simultaneously), based on time, date, and content.
* Caller ID and Caller Name of the calling party (if available) is sent via e-mail (Plans 001, 001-I and 002) or in a deposited voicemail or fax (Plans 003 and 004) message in the DirectPage voice/fax mailbox.
* A personal number overlay to paging systems which only offer PIN access, allowing your callers to be greeted by a personal message and not require any PIN codes or access numbers.
* Works with any pager, alpha-capable cellular telephone or GSM SMS International mobile, fax or regular/cellular voice telephone.
* A fully featured voicemail system with an optional fax mailbox and Interpage's FaxUp service (plans 003 and 004 only)
* The ability to have pages sent to one or more e-mail addresses.
* The ability to have pages sent to one or more fax machines
* The ability to have pagers in other countries "connected" to a US-based (or Canada-based) local phone number so that people in the US or Canada can page you without placing an International call.
* Local access numbers in the UK, Europe, Japan and Asia for callers abroad to call/page without having to pay an International call charge.
* The ability to combine multiple local access numbers to page the same account; thus a given user may have (for example) a US number, a UK number, and one in Japan, all of which will message a given user's single account.
DirectPage Standard Plan (001): $10.00 per month, offers a local numeric number in nearly any US/Canadian area code. Callers are greeted with a generic prompt requesting that they enter their numeric message with a Touch Tone phone, and after the call is complete the Interpage DirectPage service will e-mail, fax, page, or use Text-To-Speech via the OutVoice service to notify up to 10 recipients that a page has been received. If available, Caller ID and Caller Name will be mailed in the notification e-mail with the telephone number and/or name of the person leaving the numeric message. DirectPage Standard customers may use a Web-based schedule tool to set up notification regimes to notify their various devices and/or e-mail addresses.
All e-mail notifications are free, as well as Web-based access (viewing); fax, pager and voice notification will incur a per-use charge of 10 cents per notification per device. (Thus, if a given DirectPage Standard account is paged and notification is sent to one or more e-mail addresses, there is no charge; if the DirectPage customer sets their account to fax them there is a 10 cent per fax charge; if the DirectPage customer sets their account to notify via e-mail, fax and voice message, then each page would result in a 20 cent charge -- the e-mail component being free, the fax component being 10 cents, and the voice notification being 10 cents, for a total of 20 cents per page.) There is a one-time set-up fee of $10. A customer who receives in excess of 10,000 pages per month may be subject to a 2 cent per page charge for each page from 10,001 onward.
DirectPage International Plan (001-I): $15 per month, $15 one-time set-up fee, otherwise generally the same as the 001 plan but offering local access numbers in the UK, Europe, Japan and many Asian countries. Additionally, non-email pages, such as delivery to fax machines and voice lines via OutVoice which are located outside of the US/Canada may pay a higher per-message or per-minute rate; please inquire for details. As with the DirectPage 001 plan here is no charge for e-mail delivery with International local access numbers, however, a customer who receives in excess of 10,000 pages per month may be subject to a 2 cent per page charge for each page from 10,001 onward.
DirectPage Unlimited (002): $50.00 per month, identical to the DirectPage 001 (above) but with no per use charge for notification to any one end device within the US/Canada or to any e-mail address worldwide. Notification charges to faxes, pagers, cellphones, or landline/voice telephones in the US and Canada are thus waived based on the selected end device. Additional unlimited end-device types (pager, fax, voice) may be added for an additional $50 per month. A customer who receives in excess of 10,000 pages per month may be subject to a 2 cent per page charge for each page from 10,001 onward.
DirectPage Enhanced Plan (003): $49.95 per month, includes a local
numeric number with voicemail, custom greeting, multiple pager/e-mail/fax
notification, Web and Telnet account configuration access. Callers may leave either a voicemail message or a numeric page, and notification is instantly sent to one or more e-mail, fax, pager/cellphone, or voice/landline destinations. The Caller ID (if available) of the calling party will be placed in the timestamp of any received message.
Unlike the DirectPage Standard / 001 (above), the Enhanced package charges 10 cents per end user/device notified, including e-mail. Thus, if a page is received and sent to an e-mail address, a pager, and a fax, each page will result in a total charge of 30 cents, e.g., 10 cents per notified device/person. A one-time activation charge of $50 applies. Access numbers for the DirectPage Enhanced / 003 service are available only in cities where Interpage-owned interconnect facilities exist, including: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Access numbers outside of these Metropolitan areas are available at a higher monthly charge, or customers may opt for the DirectPage Standard / 001 plan which offers access numbers throughout the US and Canada. Plan 003 carrier a 6-month minimum commitment with a $100 early-termination fee.
DirectPage FaxUp(sm) (004):
$64.95 per month, all the features of the Enhanced Plan (003) are included plus a discounted rate on Faxup service which
allows your DirectPage account to receive faxes and have them sent to you
as e-mail or viewed via the Web. Faxes, voicemails, and numeric pages may all be received at a DirectPage FaxUp number; faxes will be e-mailed as GIF attachments or PostScript files; voicemails and numeric pages will result in notification to one or more e-mail, fax, pager or voice/landline telephone numbers. All notification settings are configurable via the Web or Telnet access. Faxes may be viewed from any Web browser, as well as seen on any MIME-capable mail reader, such as Outlook or Eudora.
There is a 10 cent charge per device/destination notified. Thus, if a fax is received, and e-mailed to one address, a 10 cent charge will apply. If notification that a fax has been received is also sent to a pager, a 20 cent charge will apply -- 10 cents for the e-mail component, and 10 cents for the pager.
Access numbers for the DirectPage Enhanced / 004 service are available only in cities where Interpage-owned interconnect facilities exist, including: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Access numbers outside of these Metropolitan areas are available at a higher monthly charge; please inquire for details.
Plan 004 carries a 6-month minimum commitment with a $100 early termination charge.
Direct Page PIN (005): $49.95 per month; a specialized service for high-volume, enterprise-grade DTMF input where callers and/or automated equipment can call an Interpage DirectPage generic port number, enter a user ID, and then send either numeric, alpha, or pre-programmed messages via Touch Tone/DTMF to pagers, cellphones, SMS, Text-To-Speech, mobiles and e-mail addresses. The PIN plan allows for 10,000 free INBOUND messages/pages per month (including the dissemination of messages to e-mail addresses), after which there is a 2 cent charge for INBOUND messages from 10,001 upward. Sending pages via dialout (non e-mail), faxes, Text to Speech via OutVoice(sm), and TAP dispatch may incur additional charges, please contact Interpage for details; e-mail delivery is free. A one-time activation charge of $50 applies. Additional PINS are available at a reduced rate/reduced Activation Charge, please inquire for details. Accounts requiring over 50 PINs may also wish to consider the WebAlert(sm) Service.
Direct Page PIN Local Access (006): $69.95 per month; identical to the DirectPage/005 plan (above) but with a local access number in any area code in the US or Canada instead of the general use access number assigned for the DirectPage/005 plan. There is a $70 one-time activation charge.
Note: DirectPage 003 and 004 plans carry a 6-month minimum commitment; there is a $100 early-termination charge.
