Welcome
to Interpage's Services Overview!
Interpage is an enhanced Internet gateway service which will send, receive and integrate SMTP/E-mail and HTTP/Web-based messages and content to/from a variety of messaging devices and platforms. Faxes may be viewed from any web browser, bulk paging may be accomplished via simple e-mail commands, Web-site failure or Internet connectivity failure conditions may be immediately messaged to on-call personnel, and more!
Many Interpage services have a duality of applications while utilizing the same technology base and interconnecting similar end devices.
For example, E-Mail paging may be utilized at the individual/personal account level as an automated, semi-fixed "e-mail to pager" service, where e-mail and web-based messages are sent to a given customer's pager(s), cellphone(s), PDA(s), and or other devices, based on the user's desired preferences and scheduling needs.
At the Enterprise level, the Paging Gateway may be accessed using the OutPage protocol, which allows for full integration between a server, gateway, or other device/network which needs to send out messages, with detailed delivery confirmation, scripted navigation of up-front PIN or IVR paging trees, simultaneous bulk dispatch to alpha and numeric-only paging terminals, and more.
Similarly, the same duality is evidenced in the InFax and OutFax services, both of which accomplish essentially the same fundemantal task (of sending messages, Web content, and e-mail to fax machines), but providing a substantially different interface, degree of integration, and overal suitability of purpose.
Most Interpage services may be accessed and configured via a Web-based interface, a textual Telnet interface, and/or e-mail commands.

Paging Services:
Interpage's personal paging gateway allows recipients to be paged on any pager, either alpha or numeric, e-mail capable or GSM mobile phone, PDA/Palm, or other messaging device anywhere in the world, whenever a new e-mail is received either directly at Interpage or retrieved remotely via POP Mail Retrieval. All mail received at your-account@interpage.net and/or retrieved via POP Mail may be filtered for day, time, subject, sender, "to" header, and keywords, and may be "scheduled" to prevent unwanted messages. Cellphone and pager numbers never need to be given out to people who may abuse them, only one point of contact need be divulged rather than numbers and codes for multiple devices, and the Personal Paging subscriber retains a greater degree of control over when and who can message them.
Interpage's Enterprise paging gateway facilitates firms and organizations which need to send large volumes of alpha, numeric-only, and mobile phone pages/messages to a variety of systems worldwide. Enterpise customers utilize the OutPage Protocol, which instructs the Interpage Paging Gateway Server to send pages via simple e-mail or URL-based commands to alpha, numeric, and PIN "front-end" paging systems, cellphones, SMS messaging to US and International mobile phones, PDAs, satellite pagers, and other messaging devices.

InFax service provides customers with a virtual e-mail address for instances where e-mail access is difficult, unreliable, or infeasable. InFax customers attain an address on the Internet and will receive an instant fax at any fax machine worldwide, the moment the e-mail arrives, saving wasted logins to check for mail. InFax is suitable for applications where "hard copy" is needed in a timely manner without having to to manually read mail and print it out, such as to take incoming orders at a take-out food shop, or at a parts department supplying local retailers.
FaxUp provides an online fax mailbox accessible via the Web, E-Mail, with some plans, via telephone or cellphone. FaxUp customers may view, store, lock, annotate, re-send (via fax or email) and generally manage their online fax mailbox from the World Wide Web, Palm Pilots or other web-capable PDAs, E-Mail, or Touch Tone telephone access -- without the need of any special software. Most features of the FaxBox service (below) are included.
FaxBox provides a standalone unlimited-use fax and voicemail box with local access and enhanced features. Faxes may be sent to a virtual fax storage system, and reviewed and re-printed from any fax machine worldwide. FaxBox numbers provide for multiple access lines so that callers will never receive a busy signal. Fax Station ID or Caller ID (when available) is provided with uploaded faxes and read to callers upon review of their mailbox, and callers may record a brief introductory annotation if they wish to discuss the content of their fax.
WebFax Pro provides an instant and affordable way to update Web-based content without any knowledge of HTML or programming -- all that is required is a fax machine. WebFaxPro assigns a unique URL to uploaded fax content which may be linked to from web sites as a means to provide updated content without having to regularly re-code a given page or site.
More information on our fax-based services can be found on our fax index or from the main page under the Fax Services icon.
TAP/IXO Alpha Dispatch provides a modem/dialup means to send e-mail, pages, faxes, and voicemail messages. Interpage's Self-Dispatch services are employed to provide a backup/redundant link for remote sites to notifiy the "outside world" when a failure of Internet connectivty is detected. Paging carriers and Operator Dispatch Providers also utilize Interpage's TAP/IXO Self-Dispatch Gateway to add e-mail, pager, cellphone and SMS delivery to their notification regimes, allowing customers to receive alpha, numeric, or operator-dispatch messages on many paging/messaging devices.
Numeric/DTMF Dispatch offers a Touch Tone (DTMF) to E-Mail, Pager, Cellphone, SMS and Voice gateway. Voicemail systems, remote monitoring equipment, alarm systems or nearly any other device or service which needs to message to multiple end units and/or place content on the Internet via e-mail may dial into Interpage's Touch Tone / DTMF gateway, dispatch a message (either numeric, alpha, or "canned") via touch tones, and have the message sent as e-mail and/or any of the other aforementioned devices or systems.
Enhanced services include:
LinkAlert monitors remote sites, web-content, or Internet links, and immediately alerts staff via pager, cellphone, fax, or voice of any network outages. Specific ports, keywords and other specialized monitoring parameters may be set to customize a reliable alert regime.
WebReach provides an integrated package of Web identities, inquiry/order faxing, and electronic commerce services.
Voice Services
InterTalk, Interpage's e-mail to speech system and control system, allows customers to access Interpage from any touch tone phone to manipulate account options and for e-mail transcription. Customers may hear header information, or an entire e-mail message. Customers may also send a brief reply, forward the mail to another e-mail address, or even fax it to any fax machine worldwide. Additionally, InterTalk may be used to configure certain Interpage settings, such as adding new reminder pages, requesting a new stock quote for paging, or if traveling, to remotely add a weather forecast, for example.
OutVoice sends voice (via text to speech) and WAV files to voice telephones, including cellphones. OutVoice may be used to "fill in" gaps in pager or messaging coverage by calling a cellphone or POTS (regular landline) phone directly and relaying critical information verbally. OutVoice uses a series of e-mail based command codes with similar syntax to the OutFax and OutPage protocols.
