oops! almost forgot... if you don't have a gui browser and prefer life
on the command line, you can also email <10 digit #>@page.nextel.com
to send alpha pages.

}I work for Siemens Building Technologies in South Florida (yes, I'm
}aware you said SouthWest). We use the Nextel units for our
}100+ member
}branch. The service we subscribe to includes radio, alpha paging and
}cellular service. I haven't been able to find a non-M$
}paging app yet,
}but if you go to http://page.nextel.com you can page any Nextel user
}(who subscribes to the paging service) with your favorite
}web browser.
}All you need to know is the person's 10 digit number (Area Code +
}Phone #). Here, our local call range extends statewide. AFAIK, Nextel
}is nationwide. You might want to research where they have
}towers/range
}in your area. In the SouthWest US, the range kicks ass. I've
}even seen
}their cell towers up in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee where
}there's no large cities nearby.
