This thing is supposed to send and receive emails . what a POS! Work gave it to me and it can hardly receive pages let alone send ANYTHING! :mad: In any building im in it wont find a receiving tower let alone a send tower anywhere. using it at work is out of the question. I work in a big office building in a major office copmplex/city and there is "too much interferance". My home is in the city at the intersection of I 95 and the beltway and there are repeaters and cell towers EVERWHERE but I still cannt sent an email! its a worthless POS.

We called Arch and they are like: "ummm is the building you work in made of concrete or steal? Because these pagers have a problem with that" WTF!? NO, I WORK IN A GRASS HUT!

Or try using any pager in an airport.

I used to have this sky pager. I traveled a lot on business at that time. I was in Idaho and for that entire time I did not get any pages. When I got back I had people ask me what happened. They wanted to know if I lost my pager. It turned out that there are certain regions not covered at all.
