E-Mail Paging

E-Mail Paging: An email address for your alphanumeric pager.

Are you considering an alphanumeric pager but you’re not sure how family and friends can send you a text message? If so, then E-Mail Paging may be your answer.

With E-Mail Paging you get a complimentary e-mail address assigned to your alphanumeric pager, and it's all free as part of your alpha package. Text messages can be sent to your pager from any e-mail user anywhere in the world!

How it works:

Your free E-Mail Paging address is the last seven digits of your pager number@cpaging.net. For example, pager number 800.555.9999 would have the address 5559999@cpaging.net.

Vanity E-Mail Address:
Can be purchased for $1 per month. You choose the user name – john_doe and we assign your "domain" name as cpaging.com. Your new E-Mail Paging address is then johndoe@cpaging.com. Now all of your friends and family who use e-mail to stay in touch can send you an alphanumeric page by sending the message to your pager.
