The paging market mirrors the cellular phone market. The equipment has become more and more of a commodity over time, with service increasingly becoming the differentiating factor.
Many dealers waive the pager activation fee or sell the units at a loss to attract new customers.
Service fees will also vary depending on whether you currently own a pager. Pagers can also be leased for a minimal monthly fee. The coverage area will significantly affect the monthly service charge. The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. All rights reserved.
