St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, located in Crystal Lake near Chicago, has noticed a sharp increase in the number of attendants only during major Christian holidays, and hopes to retain those who come only on days like Christmas and Easter. The church has adopted texting as a means of encouraging these followers to come to other services.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/text-me-to-church.htm" target="_blank" >Text Me to Church: How SMS Helps Religion</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2693</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2693</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2021 19:31:35 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP) Settings</title> <description>A standard for sending one and two-way wireless messages to paging devices over the Internet.

While these values still hold, texting seems to be gaining more and more of a role in dining out, especially for the restaurants themselves. SMS is beginning to take root as a way to facilitate the workings of restaurants in a myriad of exciting new ways.<br /><br />While SMS certainly won't replace a skilled waitstaff, it can lend them a hand in lunch or dinner rushes at a busy venue.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/text-and-dine.htm" target="_blank" >Text and Dine: How Texting Can Improve the Restaurant Industry</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2691</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2691</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2021 19:27:18 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Can Text Messaging Change the Hospitality Industry?</title> <description>While waiting at the airport for your rental car, you get a notification on your cell phone. It's a text from your hotel, asking if you would like a drink or food from room service upon your arrival. It may sound like a futuristic luxury, but the fact of the matter is that scenarios like this are not that far off. Text messaging offers a myriad of ways to boost the hospitality industry, and hotels are bound to take note sooner rather than later.<br /><br />SMS is an ideal platform for the hospitality industry. A large reason why is its speed; texting allows a guest to issue a request or ask a question very quickly, and can relay the information to hotel staff instantly. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-can-text-messaging-change-hospitality.htm" target="_blank" >How Can Text Messaging Change the Hospitality Industry?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2690</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2690</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 26 May 2021 19:25:16 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Could Texting Save Clinical Trial Recruitment?</title> <description>Getting a drug on the market is no easy feat; an enormous amount of research, development, and trials are only quantitative markers of the process a new medication must undergo before gaining the clear for distribution by healthcare professionals. One would hope that, at the least, a research team that has advanced a drug to clinical trials wouldn't have to fret over putting together the trial, but a common difficulty in gathering participants for clinical trials has made this far from the reality for many medical researchers. However, texting may offer a solution.<br /><br />At first glance, it may not make much sense that rounding up participants for research trials would present such an obstacle. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/could-texting-save-clinical-trial-recruitment.htm" target="_blank" >Could Texting Save Clinical Trial Recruitment?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2689</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2689</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 24 May 2021 19:23:06 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Steps to Send Text and SMS Messages from 2Ring</title> <description>PageGate can be easily integrated with 2Ring by writing directly to the PageGate Database.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/2Ring/how-to-integrate.htm" target="_blank" >Steps to Send Text and SMS Messages from 2Ring</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2688</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2688</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 21 May 2021 19:21:38 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Using Text Messaging for University Recruitment and Retention</title> <description>Students in their senior year have lots of distractions, and there is quite literally an on-going battle for their attention.

The demands of self-awareness and self-care can be exhausting, or simply easy to forget about at times, but a lapse can be dangerous for diabetics. In an effort to make keeping on top of the daily responsibilities of diabetes easier, researchers have begun to explore how texting might be used to lighten this load and improve the health of diabetics.<br /><br />Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine have launched a program called CareSmarts that aims to help those living with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes keep on top of their daily responsibilities to stay healthy. CareSmarts relies on texting to do this, as it is an instant, convenient, and widely popular medium of communication that is gaining even more footing across age groups.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/diabetics-texting-improves-health.htm" target="_blank" >For Diabetics, Texting Program Improves Health</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2683</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2683</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 10 May 2021 19:12:06 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Integrate SolarWinds Orion with PageGate</title> <description>Alerts are generated for user-definable events, and may be triggered by the simple occurrence of an event or by the crossing of a threshold value for a monitored Interface, Volume or Node.

This happens in a great variety of ways, including using SMS and related mobile technology to track diseases, and to encourage patients and doctors to take protective measures against rapidly spreading diseases.<br /><br />A powerful example is Alerta DISAMAR, a project under the United Nations-Vodafone Foundation that uses text messaging to track the spread of infectious diseases as well as to create a valuable store of information for epidemiologists. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/mobile-technology-fighting-spread-of-disease.htm" target="_blank" >How Mobile Technology Is Fighting the Spread of Disease</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2677</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2677</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 26 Apr 2021 15:24:39 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Sends Text and SMS Messages from SolarWinds</title> <description>Send Text and SMS Messages from SolarWinds SAM<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/solarwinds-sam/how-to-integrate.htm" target="_blank" >Integration with SolarWinds Server Alert Monitor</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2676</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2676</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Apr 2021 15:19:55 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Mass Alert System for Schools</title> <description>Many schools systems are using mass alert systems.

After all, bad weather is an unavoidable fact of life, and all we can do when severe weather is expected is plan accordingly to stay warm, dry, and safe. Believe it or not, text messaging can help you do that: SMS weather alerts are perhaps the most powerful and effective tool to stay in the know, and therefore to plan right, for severe weather.<br /><br />Text message weather warnings take advantage of the immediacy of SMS. During an inclement weather situation, it is best to be in the know as soon as possible. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-texting-can-keep-you-safe-in-severe-weather.htm" target="_blank" >How Texting Can Keep You Safe in Severe Weather</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2673</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2673</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 16 Apr 2021 15:09:19 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>The Health Implications of Texting</title> <description>When we think of texting, we tend to envision a purely social medium: first to come to mind is often the image of teenagers firing off messages bereft with acronyms.

In fact, texting may have a variety of surprising implications for the world of health and medicine.<br /><br />A major way texting may be applied to the health sphere is as a means of reminding people to take their medication. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/health-implications-of-texting.htm" target="_blank" >The Health Implications of Texting</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2672</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2672</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Apr 2021 15:08:09 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Web API - Web Server and CGI Interface - GetWeb</title> <description> <![CDATA[Send text messages via webpages. The PageGate Web API allows clients to dispatch messages from a webpage on their webserver. PageGate's web interface supports many types of web pages including single, group, multi-page, drop down lists and ad-hoc type web pages. The web pages can be set up using templates.<br /><br />The Web Interface uses a CGI script to allow any Windows based web server to accept information entered on a web page and send it to PageGate. PageGate then sends the message out via text message.<br /><br />Web Developers can use the Web Server Interface to send messages to PageGate from their webpages (HTML, ASP, JavaScript, Java, etc.). <br /><br />The CGI can be used with either a POST or GET method.<br /><br />The POST method can be used by creating a form on your webpage. Information submitted in the form can be sent out as a text message.<br /><br />The GET method is more popular with scripting languages such as JavaScript and Java. It allows the CGI to be called with a command similar to one that could be entered into a browser's URL field.<br /><br />The Web interface can also be used to enable PageGate to receive notifications from applications running on different platforms.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-web.htm" target="_blank">Web API - Web Server and CGI Interface - GetWeb</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2671</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2671</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Apr 2021 14:56:48 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Two Factor Authentication with PageGate</title> <description>PageGate can easily be integrated with many systems to provide two-factor authentication codes in text messages to phones.

NiMH, NiCAD, lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries are all rechargable, meaning that after they are depleted they can can be recharged and will again store power.&nbsp;&nbsp;The efficacy of which they recharge and store power has determined their longevity in consumer electronics.<br /><br />The age of the cell phone dictates the type of cell phone battery it likely used. Very old cell phones often used NiCad batteries or NiMH batteries while newer smart phones all use lithium ion batteries.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-to-dispose-of-cell-phone-batteries.htm" target="_blank" >How to Dispose of Cell Phone Batteries</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2552</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2552</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 6 Jul 2020 15:19:38 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Stop Robocalls on Cell Phones</title> <description>There is little more frustrating than annoying and unsolicitied phone calls to your cell phone.

Whether the term <i>ghosting</i> comes from the metaphorical term ghost, where the ghoster is saying <i>you are dead to me </i>or whether it is from the idiom <i>get ghost </i>meaning to leave immediately or disappear, is unclear, the result is the same, no communication and no explanation.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/mobile/what-is-ghosting-in-texting.html" target="_blank" >What is Ghosting in Texting?</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2550</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2550</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 1 Jul 2020 15:13:46 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Internet and IP Monitoring Software SMS or Text Message Flow</title> <description>Internet and IP monitoring software triggers a message based on an anomaly.

This includes the vast majority of cellular/mobile/wireless modems available today.<br /><br />Using a wireless modem, wireless router, or other similar hardware can be the most reliable and efficient method to deliver SMS text messages. Wireless hardware removes an organization's reliance on an active Internet connection, or other wired connection when sending messages. Another advantage is that the only piece of information necessary to deliver messages via a wireless modem, is the recipient's phone number.<br /><br />The GSM-AT protocol uses a serial connection to communicate with the wireless hardware.<br /><br />In order to send a message using GSM-AT-IP you only need a single piece of information. That information is the mobile number you wish to send the message to.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-gsm-at-outbound.htm" target="_blank" >PageGate Supports Sending Messages Out Using GSM-AT / GSM-AT-IP</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2521</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2521</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2020 16:27:35 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Incident Management SMS or Text Message Flow</title> <description>Incident Management Software triggers an event due to an anomaly that is detected.

We have all heard about fears of the prevalence of cell phones and texting causing our minds to rot away, damaging our grammar, spelling capabilities, interpersonal skills, and even capacity for profound thought. However, it's possible that we may use our phones to the exact opposite effect; smart phones may in fact be used to enhance intelligence.<br /><br />While smart phones may not be the impetus for intelligence-enhancing programs such as Lumosity, they certainly make them more accessible. Lumosity is an online-based program providing a myriad of games that challenge and improve various aspects of users' intelligence, and its tactics are supported by substantial neuroscience research.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/can-your-smart-phone-make-you-smarter.htm" target="_blank" >Can Your Smart Phone Make You, Well, Smarter?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2510</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2510</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2020 15:43:33 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Send Alerts from Network Monitoring Solutions</title> <description>When a failure is detected in a business or companys network infrastructure, it is important that the network administrator (or others) are aware of the problem. The easiest way to do this is to send text message notification(s).<br /><br />While many network monitoring applications have the ability to inherently send email notifications, if the network failure impacts the email system, the alert will not be sent. In order to ensure that alerts are sent and received, we recommend using a 3rd party solution like PageGate along with cellular hardware to send the notifications wirelessly. That way if there is an issue with the network infrastructure the notifications will still be sent and received.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/alerts-from-network-monitoring.htm" target="_blank" >Send Alerts from Network Monitoring Solutions</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2509</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2509</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2020 15:27:10 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Messaging for Assisted Living Facilities and Nursing Homes</title> <description> <![CDATA[Text messaging is used a variety of ways in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

When you need to send secure text messages, you'll need a service that provides a secure gateway for the text messages to be delivered through and a secure way for the phone to read the text message. Over the years, a few different styles of solutions have evolved and NotePage's&nbsp;&nbsp;PageGate software supports them all.<br /><br /><br />Lets start with the basics, and explain how secure messaging works. As previously explained standard text messaging is not secure, so when sending text messages you must use a third party, that allows messages to be transmitted using a proprietary protocol that is secure. Typically the message is sent/recieved using encryption. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/how-secure-messaging-works.htm" target="_blank" >How Secure Messaging Works</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2501</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2501</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 4 Mar 2020 16:05:01 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Messaging & Communication Software for Ambulance Service</title> <description> <![CDATA[Text messaging is used a variety of ways in the ambulance services.

However, the hardware itself has its own limitations on how fast it can push the traffic to the outside world.<br /><br />Typically speaking, cellular hardware will be able to accept one message for delivery every 2 or 3 seconds, which means that the upper delivery rate on most cellular hardware is between 20 and 30 messages per minute. If you try to push more traffic than the device is capable of handling, you'll receive a CMS Error 500 indicating that the device has been overloaded and that can cause message delivery headaches like missed messages.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/how-message-volume-impacts-cellular-hardware.htm" target="_blank" >How Message Volume Impacts Cellular Hardware</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2499</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2499</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:56:59 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Ground Stability Monitoring Software Text Message Flow Options</title> <description>Ground stability monitoring software triggers a message based on settings that exceed defined parameters.

If you want to send secure messages you will need to use a system that uses encryption. An effective encryption solution helps to ensure that data is protected at all times, whether in transport or simply being stored. With many industries adopting text messaging as a means to communicate critical sensitive data quickly, there are concerns about the security of the data contained in those messages. Hence, encryption and secure messaging is becoming more common. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/encrypted-text-messaging.htm" target="_blank" >Encrypted SMS & Text Messaging</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2490</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2490</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 7 Feb 2020 15:30:17 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Send Text and SMS Messages from Schneider Electric I NET: Building Alarm Automation</title> <description>Follow these steps to use Schneider Electric I/NET: Building Alarm Automation System with PageGate<br /><br />I NET sends alerting information by serial line and PageGate can be easily integrated with I NET by using the GetSerial module.

One would hope that, at the least, a research team that has advanced a drug to clinical trials wouldn't have to fret over putting together the trial, but a common difficulty in gathering participants for clinical trials has made this far from the reality for many medical researchers. However, texting may offer a solution.<br /><br />At first glance, it may not make much sense that rounding up participants for research trials would present such an obstacle. However, many who consider participating in trials of drugs not yet on the market hesitate due to unvoiced concerns, and the steps leading up to the trial can be tedious, resulting in a surprisingly high proportion of dropouts among clinical trial participants of about two thirds.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/could-texting-save-clinical-trial-recruitment.htm" target="_blank" >Could Texting Save Clinical Trial Recruitment?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2487</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2487</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 15:21:44 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Financial Companies Are Using Texting</title> <description>Countless industries are using text messaging to fortify their customer service, marketing, and other aspects of their brands in the 21st century. Financial companies are no exception, reaping great gain from the powerful, economical, and environmentally-friendly advent of text messaging.<br /><br />Texting offers a boost to customer service by allowing financial companies to rapidly text alerts to customers. It hardly needs to be said that texting is, for many modern people, the most effective and quick way to get in touch. Companies can use text messaging to get important alerts such as notices about changes to accounts as well as upcoming or past-due payments to customers as quickly as possible.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-financial-companies-use-texting.htm" target="_blank" >How Financial Companies Are Using Texting</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2486</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2486</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2020 15:17:06 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How IamResponding Uses PageGate?</title> <description>IamResponding uses PageGate primarily at the end-user level.

The experimental group received text messages tailored to aid in the weight loss process twice per week throughout the 12 week duration of the study.<br /><br />The text messages that the experimental condition received included reminders to continue habits like eating well and exercising as well as motivational words. Many texts offered tips to help participants make these goals a reality, such as suggestions for healthy snacks. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/text-messaging-can-help-weight-loss.htm" target="_blank" >Text Messaging Can Help Weight Loss, Study Says</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2484</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2484</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 24 Jan 2020 15:11:15 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Alerts from Network Monitoring</title> <description> <![CDATA[When a failure is detected in a business or companys network<br />infrastructure, it is important that the network administrator (or<br />others) are aware of the problem.

Due to changes in the Google Play Store we have decided to distribute the NotePage Android SMS Gateway free of charge.<br /><br /><b>Need to Speed Up Message Sending?</b><br />Did you know that at any point you can add an additional connector or connectors to your existing PageGate license and it will in most cases cut in half the time it takes to send mass text messages to a large group?<br /><br /><b>Secure Messaging, Encrypted Messaging and HIPAA Compliance</b><br />Are you interested in learning more about secure messaging, encrypted messaging and HIPAA Compliance, check out the new section we recently added to the NotePage website.<br /><a href="https://www.noteapge.net/secure-messaging.htm" target="_blank">https://www.noteapge.net/secure-messaging.htm</a><br /><br /><b>Interested in Expanding Your Messaging Capabilities?</b><br />We have recently added some infographics that show visually how message flows can be expanded<br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/sms-messaging-infographics.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/sms-messaging-infographics.htm</a><br /><br /><b>Have You Checked out the PageGate Filter Pack?</b><br />The PageGate Filter Pack increases the flexibility and power of PageGate's text messaging capabilities. With the PageGate Filter Pack customers can search in data streams or from existing systems for specific words, phrases or characters and using literal searches text and SMS messages can automatically be sent when the defined criteria is met.<br /><br />Additionally the PageGate Filter Pack allows for the contents of the message to be substantially changed. For example if an alarm that PageGate is monitoring generates a numeric code, PageGate can replace the numeric code with a more meaningful message which can then be distributed to specific groups or individuals via a text message.<br /><br />The PageGate Filter Pack can also extract text message data from textual formats like HTML, XML or JSON. PageGate's Filter Pack uses a powerful RegEx (regular expression) engine, allowing data extraction from almost any data format, the information can then be sent out via SMS or text message.<br /><br />The PageGate Filter Pack can also be used in conjunction with website polling if certain defined conditions or keywords exist, a text or SMS message can be triggered.<br /><br />More on the PageGate Filter Pack <a href="https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-filter-pack.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/pagegate-filter-pack.htm</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2468</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2468</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:15:13 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Discontinuing Support for NotePager Pro v3</title> <description>Please be aware as of January 1st, 2020 NotePage, Inc. will be discontinuing support for previous versions of NotePager Pro.

By using cellular hardware, you're removing PageGate's reliance on your internet connection to deliver your messages which means that your internet connection could go down and your messages would still be delivered. It's also important to note that using cellular hardware also allows you to receive replies to your messages, which means you can configure a two-way messaging system with SMS.<br /><br />SMS capable cellular hardware comes in three varieties: cellular modem, router and gateway.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/using-cellular-modems-routers-gateways.htm" target="_blank" >Using Cellular Modems, Routers & Gateways</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2444</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2444</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 2 Oct 2019 14:10:23 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Encrypted SMS & Text Messaging</title> <description>What is Encryption?<br /><br />Encryption is an effective way to ensure data security. Encryption uses an algorithm to scramble (or encrypt) data, it then uses a "key" for the receiving party to unscramble (or decrypt) the text or data. A traditional text message is plaintext, and can easily be read and may even be intercepted. An encrypted message requires a key to decrypt.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/encrypted-text-messaging.htm" target="_blank" >Encrypted SMS & Text Messaging</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2443</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2443</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 30 Sep 2019 14:09:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How text messaging is helping prevent colon cancer, expert explains</title> <description>Not everyone who signs up for a colonoscopy actually shows up for the procedure.

With this service, PageGate can perform on the fly lookups of your cell phone numbers, matching them against the carrier list provided by Data24-7. <br /><br />Additionally if you are using PageGate with cellular hardware you do not need to know the carrier associated with each number you are sending messages to!<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/did-you-know-pagegate-can-be-used-without-carrier-specific-information.htm" target="_blank" >Did you know PageGate Can be Used Without Carrier Specific Information?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2437</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2437</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 2 Sep 2019 11:35:10 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Message Volume Impacts Cellular Hardware</title> <description>Cellular hardware is, by far, the fastest and most reliable method of sending SMS with PageGate. However, the hardware itself has its own limitations on how fast it can push the traffic to the outside world.<br /><br />Typically speaking, cellular hardware will be able to accept one message for delivery every 2 or 3 seconds, which means that the upper delivery rate on most cellular hardware is between 20 and 30 messages per minute. If you try to push more traffic than the device is capable of handling, you'll receive a CMS Error 500 indicating that the device has been overloaded and that can cause message delivery headaches like missed messages.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/how-message-volume-impacts-cellular-hardware.htm" target="_blank" >How Message Volume Impacts Cellular Hardware</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2436</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2436</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 30 Aug 2019 11:29:26 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Internet / IP Monitoring Software SMS or Text Message Flow</title> <description>Internet / IP monitoring software triggers a message based on an anomaly.

In overcoming the novelty of smart phones, many of us have lost our one-time sense of awe at this technology, and have ceased marveling at the effect it has had on the world around us. However, it is undeniable that smart phones have exerted a huge and multi-faceted impact on society, and continue to do so to this day.<br /><br />More significantly than GPS tracking your run or making waiting in line a little more bearable, smart phones have virtually changed our society's concept of access, making information available to smart phone users at almost any time and any place. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-smart-phones-have-changed-the-world.htm" target="_blank" >The Advent of Access: How Smart Phones Have Changed the World</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2432</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2432</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:19:04 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>API Text or SMS Message Flow - Visual</title> <description>An API generates or triggers a message and passes the message into PageGate (or PageGate polls API to pickup message).

However, the hardware itself has its own limitations on how fast it can push the traffic to the outside world.<br /><br />Typically speaking, cellular hardware will be able to accept one message for delivery every 2 or 3 seconds, which means that the upper delivery rate on most cellular hardware is between 20 and 30 messages per minute. If you try to push more traffic than the device is capable of handling, you'll receive a CMS Error 500 indicating that the device has been overloaded and that can cause message delivery headaches like missed messages.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/how-message-volume-impacts-cellular-hardware.htm" target="_blank" >How Message Volume Impacts Cellular Hardware</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2405</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2405</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:23:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How HVAC Companies are Using Text Messaging</title> <description> <![CDATA[Text messaging is used a variety of ways in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry.

Is it possible, though, that our extensive texting habits could be damaging our own physical health? Believe it or not, several physical ailments have been associated with excessive text messaging<br /><br />Surprisingly, our texting habits could be affecting our posture--and contributing to a surprising range of health afflictions associated with poor posture. A condition called text neck, or tech neck, occurs from frequently holding the head down to look at mobile devices.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/could-texting-kill-you.htm" target="_blank" >Could Text Messaging Kill?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2387</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2387</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 3 May 2019 15:47:50 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Automated Alarm Monitoring Text Message Flow Options</title> <description>SMS and text messaging flow options from an automated alarm system.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/infographics/automated-alarm-monitoring.htm" target="_blank" >Automated Alarm Monitoring Text Message Flow Options</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2386</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2386</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 1 May 2019 15:45:53 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Mobile Technology Is Fighting the Spread of Disease</title> <description>Mobile technology is not new to health developments--cell phones have been put to task in an impressive range of technologies to improve public health. An important and relevant instance of this approach is the use of texting to address disease epidemics. This happens in a great variety of ways, including using SMS and related mobile technology to track diseases, and to encourage patients and doctors to take protective measures against rapidly spreading diseases.<br /><br />A powerful example is Alerta DISAMAR, a project under the United Nations-Vodafone Foundation that uses text messaging to track the spread of infectious diseases as well as to create a valuable store of information for epidemiologists. Alerta DISAMAR was first conceived in 2001 following the death of two sailors in Peru from malaria, leading the navy to seek a way to stave off further harm.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/mobile-technology-fighting-spread-of-disease.htm" target="_blank" >How Mobile Technology Is Fighting the Spread of Disease</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2385</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2385</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 29 Apr 2019 15:24:17 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Messaging Flow Infographics</title> <description>Visuals of SMS and text message flow options.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/sms-messaging-infographics.htm" target="_blank" >SMS and Text Messaging Flow Infographics</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2384</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2384</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:23:16 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Information to help integrate a new software or hardware solution with PageGate to send text or SMS Messages</title> <description>NotePages software can easily be integrated into existing complimentary software and hardware product lines.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/how-to-integrate.htm" target="_blank" >Information to help integrate a new software or hardware solution with PageGate to send text or SMS Messages</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2383</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2383</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 24 Apr 2019 09:18:05 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Send Text and SMS Messages from Tyler Technologies CAD</title> <description>Follow these steps to use Tyler Technoglogies CAD with PageGate: <br /><br />Tyler Technologies CAD uses PageGate's GetAscii module to pass messages to PageGate for delivery.

The easiest way to do this is to send text message notification(s).<br /><br />While many network monitoring applications have the ability to inherently send email notifications, if the network failure impacts the email system, the alert will not be sent. In order to ensure that alerts are sent and received, we recommend using a 3rd party solution like PageGate along with cellular hardware to send the notifications wirelessly. That way if there is an issue with the network infrastructure the notifications will still be sent and received.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/alerts-from-network-monitoring.htm" target="_blank" >Send Alerts from Network Monitoring Software</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2381</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2381</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:12:58 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Send Text and SMS Messages from ServiceNow</title> <description>PageGate can easily be integrated with ServiceNow by using PageGates GetWeb interface with an ad-hoc SMS configuration.<br /><br />ServiceNow has the ability to issue a GET/POST web method when an SMS alert needs to be triggered; whether thats ticket creation, ticket escalation, password reset request, roster or schedule change or anything else your people need to know!<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/servicenow/how-to-integrate.htm" target="_blank" >Send Text and SMS Messages from ServiceNow</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2380</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2380</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Apr 2019 09:10:37 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Latest SMS and Text Messaging News</title> <description> <![CDATA[<b>The Power of PageGates Filter Pack </b><br />With the release of PageGates filter pack, its possible to format messages completely differently for recipients and groups that need it. Often times, when you use a third party message aggregator like Active911, I Am Responding, Infobip, Clickatel, The Fire Horn and similar, those services need messages formatted in a very specific and static way. Due to their message parsing requirements, most will need the same number of fields in the same exact position for every message sent. <br /><br /><b>Did you Know that PageGate Can Post Updates to a Website? </b><br />Did you know that PageGate can post updates to a website via CGI commands? <br />The current version of PageGate can use the GET and POST methods of passing CGI variables to a web server, allowing you to pass updates to a website as part of your outbound messaging.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/newsletter-01-29-2019.htm" target="_blank">Latest SMS and Text Messaging News</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2379</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2379</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:08:36 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Steps to Use Samanage with PageGate</title> <description>PageGate can be easily integrated with Samanage by using PageGate's GetMail interface.

The PageGate Filter Pack increases the flexibility and power of PageGate's text messaging capabilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;With the PageGate Filter Pack, customers can search inbound data for specific words, phrases or characters, and using literal or RegEx searches, SMS messages can automatically be sent when the defined criteria is met.<br /> <br />Additionally, the PageGate Filter Pack allows for the contents of messages to be substantially changed. For example if an alarm that PageGate is monitoring generates a numeric code, PageGate can replace the numeric code with a more meaningful message which can then be distributed to specific groups or individuals via a text message.<br /><br />The PageGate Filter Pack can also extract text message data from other textual formats like HTML, XML or JSON.&nbsp;&nbsp;PageGate's Filter Pack uses a powerful RegEx (regular expression) engine, allowing data extraction from almost any data format.This&nbsp;&nbsp;information can then be sent out via SMS or text message.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/press-release-filter-pack.htm" target="_blank" >PageGate Filter Pack Increases the Flexibility and Power of PageGates Text Messaging Capabilities</a><br /></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2377</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2377</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2019 09:02:21 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Send Text and SMS Messages from SolarWinds Orion</title> <description>Alerts are generated for user-definable events, and may be triggered by the simple occurrence of an event or by the crossing of a threshold value for a monitored Interface, Volume or Node.

Throughout October 2016, a free health center at a university hospital in Paris invited 396 patients who received screening for STI and HIV to complete an anonymous self-administered questionnaire; 360 patients completed the survey. These patients were also offered the option of being notified of their results via SMS; 68% of patients chose this option, and 32% did not.<br /><br />Using data collected from the 200 patients included, researchers conducted a match case-control study, in which patients who agreed to receive screening results via SMS were matched to patients who did not wish to do so. Study investigators found that participation in the SMS program was related to patient characteristics and not STI screening results or gravity of the diseases screened; specifically, HIV and hepatitis.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/hivaids/many-patients-do-not-prefer-to-receive-results-of-sti-and-hiv-screening-by-text-message/article/823427/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2335</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2335</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 9 Jan 2019 14:13:17 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>FCC approves new text message rules, giving carriers more power</title> <description>On a party-line vote, the FCC today approved a controversial measure that gives mobile phone carriers more power over text messages.<br /><br />The reclassification only applies to SMS and MMS and not the next-generation texting standard, RCS. <br /><br />The FCC also voted today to create a database of phone numbers that have been reassigned, a move to prevent people acting in good faith from accidentally breaking the rules around robocalls when a consumers phone number changes.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/12/18137795/fcc-text-message-rule-classification-spam" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2334</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2334</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 7 Jan 2019 14:10:09 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Tips for Including SMS into Every Stage of the Customer Journey</title> <description>In todays world where consumers are inundated with technology, information, channels, and choices, companies are prioritizing customer experience in order to stay competitive.

The attitude of self-disclosure refers to the anxiety people may have about sharing personal and private information online.<br />2. The attitude of apprehension refers to feelings of dread or fear of communicating online.<br />3. The attitude of miscommunication refers to beliefs about how common misunderstandings and conflict are when communicating online because online communication makes it difficult for people to understand one another.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/conscious-communication/201809/why-are-people-dependent-texting" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2296</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2296</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 19 Sep 2018 09:35:26 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Messaging Added to Legislation</title> <description>In a ruling that increases liability for companies that use text messaging for marketing or communicating with customers, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit adopted an expansive definition of what constitutes an automatic telephone dialing system—or ATDS—under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. In Marks v. Crunch San Diego, the court held that any equipment that has the capacity to dial numbers from a stored list, such as a database of numbers, is an ATDS under the TCPA. The Sept. 20 ruling creates a split among the Courts of Appeals as to the scope of the TCPA that could lead to resolution by the Supreme Court.<br /><br />The Telephone Consumer Protection Act<br />The TCPA prohibits unsolicited calls advertising <i>property, goods, or services</i> using an ATDS and prerecorded messages to residential and cellular phones. The Federal Communications Commission has interpreted the TCPA’s restriction to apply to both <i>voice calls and text calls to wireless numbers,</i> including text messages.<br /><a href="https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=46387fc5-0bf1-4f88-a31d-f744fcdf881f" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2295</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2295</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 17 Sep 2018 09:31:06 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>One in three US teens text while driving, survey shows</title> <description>One in three teen drivers in the US text while driving, new survey data suggest.

A technology partner can be a university, business, or nonprofit organization. They have the platform; the technology, and we received training.<br /><br />An important aspect to consider with a text messaging program is how to sustain patient engagement. You don’t want text messages to become a nuisance. We found that having a variety of text messages is very important. Not only were patients getting reminders about things they should consider doing, such as exercising or taking their medications, but we also sent quizzes.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/professionals/diabetes-discoveries-practice/text-messaging-diabetes-care" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2293</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2293</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 12 Sep 2018 16:23:42 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>LOL?

This is far from the case; in fact, GPS technology is being combined with text messaging to track both wildlife and livestock, a useful tool to keep an eye on both the farm animals we depend on and the increasing number of endangered or threatened species.<br /><br />One device conservationalists are using to keep tabs on wildlife is cellular GPS collars. Cellular collars are affixed to animals, which then use GPS to calculate the animal's coordinates. This information is relayed to researchers via SMS. The frequency of text message updates can be controlled by the researchers. When an animal wearing a collar moves out of cellular range, a beacon transmitter is automatically activated, using radio tracking to monitor the animal's location.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/tracking-animals-with-sms.htm" target="_blank" >Tracking Animals with SMS</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2291</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2291</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 3 Sep 2018 09:50:40 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Me to Church: How SMS Helps Religion</title> <description>One church in Illinois is notably using text messaging to resolve a problem.

This holds very true in utilities, where communication with customers is essential. Texting can provide utilities with a boost in quality of service and customer satisfaction by pushing it a step further into the 21st century.<br /><br />Utilities companies need to keep in contact with customers about important information such as billing, and events like deadlines or interruptions in service such as power outages or severe weather. Additionally, customers need a fast and reliable line of contact with utilities providers in the event of a service failure.

It is hard to be ambiguous when composing an SMS message, as you don’t have space to wax lyrical or go off-topic. The nature of an SMS message means you have to stick to the point, which is helpful because customers don’t have time to read long messages.<br /><br />In a time-poor society, people prefer pithy, to-the-point marketing messages. It takes a few seconds to read an SMS message and decide whether to respond to the message or ignore it. Because SMS messages are effective, click-through rates are much higher than email messages. This makes SMS marketing a good strategy for small businesses.<br /><br /><a href="https://azbigmedia.com/a-quick-guide-to-sms-marketing-for-small-businesses/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2271</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2271</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Jul 2018 09:26:36 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Bizarre Android Bug Displays Private Text Messages</title> <description>Android smartphones are susceptible to a strange glitch that shows recent text messages when a specific malformed web address is entered.

Knowing that, retailers, brands and marketers need to develop mobile strategies that enhance existing efforts with SMS messages and reach consumers in the most direct way – on their personal devices. Surprisingly, 75% of consumers actually want companies to text them for anything ranging from appointment or payment reminders to special offers, yet only around 30% are doing so. Needless to say: this is a massive, untapped opportunity.<br /><br />While traditional promotional SMS messages focus on marketing (one-day sales, product launches, weekly informative broadcast campaigns), transactional SMS messages based on triggered events add value for consumers because they’re personalized, relevant and timely. They are designed to increase loyalty, prevent lapsed buying behavior, and re-engage valuable consumers.

Calling someone is one way to catch up, but it’s hard to argue against texting and SMS messaging, which, for many, is faster and more convenient.<br /><br />However, there are times when you may receive a message from a contact you’d rather not see again, or get a random message from someone with a questionable number. Sure, you can delete the message and move on, but a much more permanent solution is to block those people entirely, thereby preventing their texts from reaching you until you decide otherwise. Thankfully, both iOS and Android devices allow you to easily do this, and we’ve taken to breaking down the various ways to do so.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-block-text-messages-in-ios-and-android/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2104</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2104</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 15 Mar 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>3 Ways to Get More Done Right Now</title> <description>When I need to get something done in a hurry, I use three time management tactics to maximize my available time and sharpen my focus.

A lot of them make the wrong choices about the institutions they enroll to, and a lot more even decide to never enroll at all.<br /><br />In order to close this gap, a new approach in the form of text messaging was put in place to reach students during summer and encourage and remind them of the deadlines and the requirements of the college or university they intend to apply for. This is in fact a smart move because young people love to text and this form of communication has already somehow replaced phone calls.<br /><br />In a study, 72 percent of low income students who got the text message decided to enroll in college, according to NY Times, compared to the 66.4 percent who were not able to get the information.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.universityherald.com/articles/59285/20170110/text-messaging-reach-encourage-students-apply-college.htm" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2089</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2089</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Your Way to College</title> <description>Every year, hundreds of thousands of high school seniors make bad choices about where — or whether — to go to college. Some who would excel at top-ranked institutions opt for second-tier institutions. And more than 200,000 students who have been accepted by colleges never enroll.<br /><br />The good news is that, for students in both groups, a dollop of information or a helpful nudge can change their decisions.<br /><br />Many high achievers from poor families don’t even consider elite schools. Scared off by the sticker price, they enroll at community colleges and less selective institutions instead. That is one reason 72 percent of students at the most competitive universities come from families in the top quarter of the income bracket, while students from families in the bottom quarter make up only 3 percent.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/06/opinion/sunday/text-your-way-to-college.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2088</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2088</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>6 Ways To Use SMS To Engage Your Customers</title> <description>More than half of all American adults (68%) own smartphones.<br /><br />And do you know what the most popular smartphone feature is?

But, schools are showing us more each day, they do. We often tend to think of texting as a plague to education, and maybe it has been, distracting leagues of students studying at home and even students who find their focus wavering in the classroom. But schools are turning the tables, embracing the medium in a number of ways to improve the students' experience at school. Could texting become a boon, not a bane, to education?<br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/texting-toward-degrees.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/texting-toward-degrees.htm</a><br /><br /><b>How Texting is Helping Victims of Violence</b><br />One of the first things many of us do in an emergency situation is text our loved ones, but what if we can't? Often, in instances of attacks, abduction, and other violent acts, the impulse to reach for our phones subsides to the impulse to defend ourselves, and scarcely in such situations are victims even able to access their phones. Thankfully, numerous developers and organizations have found ways to put texting to use to help victims of violence, whether or not they are able to reach for their phones. <br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-texting-is-helping-victims-of-violence.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-texting-is-helping-victims-of-violence.htm</a><br /><br /><b>Can SMS Improve Medication Compliance</b><br />It can be all too easy to miss doses of medication by simply forgetting to take them, and many who are prescribed medication choose not to take it, feeling uncertain about its risks or that they may not need it. In short, medication compliance can be dangerously low; almost one third of patients prescribed medication prescribed to control blood pressure and lipids, medicine that can be critical to a patient's health, are not compliant with their medication.<br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/can-sms-improve-medication-compliance.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/can-sms-improve-medication-compliance.htm</a><br /><br /><b>How Text Messaging is Changing the Hospitality Industry</b><br />While waiting at the airport for your rental car, you get a notification on your cell phone. It's a text from your hotel, asking if you would like a drink or food from room service upon your arrival. It may sound like a futuristic luxury, but the fact of the matter is that scenarios like this are not that far off. Text messaging offers a myriad of ways to boost the hospitality industry, and hotels are bound to take note sooner rather than later.<br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-can-text-messaging-change-hospitality.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-can-text-messaging-change-hospitality.htm</a><br /><br /><b>How Your Bank is Using Text Messaging?</b><br />The introduction of online banking marked an important step for banks into the 21st century; being able to access account information rapidly and remotely is a boon to the modern person. But more and more, online access isn't cutting it; web pages are often less accessible on the go, or less user-friendly on smart phones. Many banks have made these services more accessible by developing banking apps, but what about when Internet or data access falter?<br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-your-bank-is-using-text-messaging.htm" target="_blank">https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-your-bank-is-using-text-messaging.htm</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2078</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2078</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Jan 2017 09:00:42 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>3 Brutally Honest Reasons Why People Do Return Your Text Messages</title> <description>OK, I exaggerated a bit: Some people return messages — quickly and informatively.

To commemorate the world SMS birthday, here are six ways texting has evolved since it was introduced.<br /><br /><a href="https://mic.com/articles/161407/world-sms-birthday-6-ways-texting-has-evolved-since-it-was-introduced#.2LjYHSFue" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2076</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2076</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jan 2017 09:45:29 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>FAA Ready to Roll Out SMS</title> <description>In 2016, the FAA published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) proposing an SMS requirement of certain certificated airports. Under the proposal, these airports would develop and implement processes and procedures to proactively identify hazards and mitigate unacceptable risk. In addition to safety risk assessment and management, the proposal would require these airports to also deploy confidential hazard reporting systems, provide training and orientation programs, and offer enhanced safety communications.

But instead of sending them with electrical or radio signals, theirs uses vinegar and glass cleaner.<br /><br />On one end of the system, a computer translates the message into a series of bits, 1s and 0s. Then it sends pulses of vinegar or glass cleaner down a series of tubes. Vinegar is an acid, while glass cleaner is a base. At the other end, a detector records the changing pH and a second computer decodes the message.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/samlemonick/2016/11/17/writing-text-messages-with-household-chemicals/#e0ee65e1e163" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2074</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2074</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Message Notification for Web Surveys</title> <description>Sending texts to survey panel members shortens response time.<br /><br />Text messaging has grown in popularity in recent years, leading survey researchers to explore ways texts might be used as tools in the public opinion research process. In the U.S., at least, researchers must obtain consent from respondents before they are permitted to send an automated text. This means that text messaging can not be used in standard one-off surveys of the public – surveys where pollsters reach out to a randomly sampled list of telephone numbers. Texting also presents measurement challenges in terms of offering only limited space for writing questions and requiring respondents to type rather than click. While these factors limit the utility of texting for interviewing itself, texting has been explored as a means of alerting people to complete a survey, such as by sending them a link to a web survey. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/2016/09/07/text-message-notification-for-web-surveys/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2073</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2073</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:59:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>EPA Employees Not ‘Intentionally’ Breaking Law By Deleting Official Texts</title> <description>Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials only archived 86 text messages out of 3.1 million agency employees sent and received in 2015, according to a federal watchdog’s report made public Wednesday by House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Chairman Lamar Smith.<br /><br /><a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/21/epa-employees-are-not-intentionally-breaking-the-law-by-deleting-official-texts/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2072</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2072</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 9 Jan 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>The use of secure text orders is not permitted at this time.</title> <description>iOS 10 has brought its own share of problems since Apple pushed it out, but now there’s a text message that can crash any iPhone running on it. Those who are unlucky enough to receive the text will find that it makes their iPhone crash, and it could bring a sense of déjà vu with it.<br /><br />In the past, other bugs have caused iPhones to crash via a text message. For example, last year there was a text that crashed the iPhones of those who received it and then triggered a never-ending reboot loop. Then this year, iOS devices were hit by a malicious link on Safari that also caused them to crash. Then last month, another malicious link—a video this time—began circulating. This link was able to crash all iPhones and iPads running on all iOS versions.<br /><br />iOS 10 patched all of these bugs, but it didn’t take long for a new text messaging bug to appear on the scene.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.valuewalk.com/2016/12/another-text-message-can-crash-iphones-running-ios-10/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2071</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2071</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 6 Jan 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Joint Commission Clarifies Text Messaging Rules for Doctors</title> <description>All healthcare organizations should have policies prohibiting the use of unsecured text messaging - that is, short message service (SMS) text messaging from a personal mobile device - for communicating protected health information.<br /><br />The Joint Commission and CMS agree that computerized provider order entry (CPOE) should be the preferred method for submitting orders as it allows providers to directly enter orders into the electronic health record (EHR).<br />I<br />n the event that a CPOE or written order cannot be submitted, a verbal order is acceptable.<br /><br />The use of secure text orders is not permitted at this time.<br /><br /><a href="http://mhealthintelligence.com/news/joint-commission-clarifies-text-messaging-rules-for-doctors" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2070</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2070</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 5 Jan 2017 09:00:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Integration Partner Directory</title> <description>NotePage's Integration Partners are software developers that have complimentary product lines, that have a need or an option of integrating text messaging into their applications.

While these factors limit the utility of texting for interviewing itself, texting has been explored as a means of alerting people to complete a survey, such as by sending them a link to a web survey.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/2016/09/07/text-message-notification-for-web-surveys/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2051</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2051</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 7 Oct 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Abu Dhabi Police to send instant texts on traffic violations</title> <description>Abu Dhabi: Motorists in Abu Dhabi will receive instant text messages about traffic violations committed by them thanks to an advanced messaging system developed by Abu Dhabi Police.<br /><br />Brigadier Ali Khalfan Al Daheri, general manager of Central Operations General Directorate, said Abu Dhabi Police are going to make its text messaging system for motorists more advanced and flexible.<br /><br />When a motorist commits a traffic violation, he or she will get an instant text message with all relevant details such as the fine amount, nature of violation and exact place, etc. The message will also mention the previous violation and its fine.<br /><br /><a href="http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/transport/abu-dhabi-police-to-send-instant-texts-on-traffic-violations-1.1900131" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2050</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2050</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 5 Oct 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Is Texting Changing Our Brains?</title> <description>Texting touches nearly every area of our lives these days, taking an increasingly large role in our social, personal, professional, and romantic lives.

Because this area of the mind is responsible for causing behaviors to repeat, the good feeling of reminding oneself of a paramount purpose makes the brain seek out that positivity again and again. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/can-app-change-your-day-one-text-message-n636716" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2043</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2043</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Sep 2016 15:04:53 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to block text messages on iOS and Android</title> <description>Regardless of which feature-rich smartphone you have, its main function is to keep you in contact with the people in your life.

After all, bad weather is an unavoidable fact of life, and all we can do when severe weather is expected is plan accordingly to stay warm, dry, and safe. Believe it or not, text messaging can help you do that: SMS weather alerts are perhaps the most powerful and effective tool to stay in the know, and therefore to plan right, for severe weather.<br /><br />Text message weather warnings take advantage of the immediacy of SMS. During an inclement weather situation, it is best to be in the know as soon as possible. Rather than finding out via friends and family or news articles, getting information from text alerts ensures that updates are immediate. And text messages are more likely to be seen, and seen immediately, than other media like broadcasts and emails.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-texting-can-keep-you-safe-in-severe-weather.htm" target="_blank" >How is Text Messaging Can Keep You Safe In Severe Weather</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2039</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2039</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 8 Sep 2016 09:39:16 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>10 Things Your Phone Can Do in An Emergency Situation</title> <description>Owning a cell phone has come to be regarded as a necessity in modern society, and with the great advances that have been made in smart phone technology, most of us rely on our phones to help us in an array of situations.

In the UK, the estimated direct cost of treating chlamydia and gonorrhoea in 2004 was £70 million, while the overall cost of treating STIs and resulting conditions in 2003 was £700 million.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.healthcanal.com/sexual-health/74318-can-text-messages-lead-to-safer-sex.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2037</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2037</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 6 Sep 2016 12:34:03 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Has Text Messaging Changed Real Estate?</title> <description>The further we implement text messaging in our lives, the further its impact reaches.

But individuals who are athaf or severely hard of hearing are dependent on adaptive technologies to transmit or translate their text input and enable phone calls to friends, employers, and even emergency responders.<br /><br />Recently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a notice of proposed rulemaking and issued a proposed rule that would require providers and manufacturers to replace the currently mandated but outdated <i>text telephone technology </i>with <i>real-time text </i>technology. Unlike text telephone technology, real-time text works over IP-based wireless services, provides instantaneous communication, and does not require additional hardware.<br /><br />Female hands touching and using cell in sun filled roomText telephone technology was first developed in the 1970s. It was a remarkable breakthrough in communication for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. But it is now increasingly obsolete. The technology requires the use of a specialized device, a teletypewriter, in order to send messages. The teletypewriter can only send sixty words per minute and employs a limited set of characters, preventing the communication of anything employing special characters or non-English letters. In order to communicate with someone who doesn’t have a teletypewriter, a person needs to employ a third-party translation service.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.regblog.org/2016/08/03/knofcyznski-updating-telephone-technology-for-the-deaf-community/" target="_blank">complete article</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2026</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2026</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Aug 2016 21:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Why Putting a Period in Your Text Messages Makes You a Monster</title> <description>There is a whole lot of nuance when it comes to text messaging—especially in the subtleties of punctuation.

A rising genre known as the cell phone novel is a type of microfiction-based novel that is written on a cell phone and published in a series of text messages.<br /><br />The cell phone novel first emerged in Japan, where the first such novel was written in 2003 by a Tokyo author using the name Yoshi. This novel, called "Deep Love," considered the practice of compensated dating in Japan. Many other early text message novels were romantic fiction of some form, addressing a range of themes such as love and relationships.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-young-authors-are-publishing-using-texting.html" target="_blank" >How Young Authors Are Publishing... by Texting?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2024</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2024</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 1 Aug 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Texting Is Helping Victims of Violence Across the World</title> <description>One of the first things many of us do in an emergency situation is text our loved ones, but what if we can't? Often, in instances of attacks, abduction, and other violent acts, the impulse to reach for our phones subsides to the impulse to defend ourselves, and scarcely in such situations are victims even able to access their phones. Thankfully, numerous developers and organizations have found ways to put texting to use to help victims of violence, whether or not they are able to reach for their phones.<br /><br />One powerful use of texting to combat violence is the work of Xin-Chi Chin, a young Malaysian woman who herself survived a violent attack and kidnapping attempt by two men in 2012.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-texting-is-helping-victims-of-violence.htm" target="_blank" >How Texting Is Helping Victims of Violence Across the World</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2023</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2023</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>VA Ignored 30 Percent Of Text Messages Sent To Suicide Crisis Hotline</title> <description>The Department of Veterans Affairs crisis hot line didn’t answer up to 30 percent of texts from desperate veterans, according to a new government watchdog investigation.<br /><br /><a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/28/va-ignored-30-percent-of-text-messages-sent-to-suicide-crisis-hotline/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2022</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2022</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Consumers want text message reminders for prescribed medications, Locent and Google survey finds</title> <description>One third of U.S. consumers are interested in receiving text message reminders from their doctors to take prescribed medicine, according to the Locent Text Adherence Survey, in which the mHealth technology vendor polled 1,000 consumers with help from Google.<br /><br />Millennials are the age demographic most interested in text reminders from doctors, the survey found. And 39 percent of consumers ages 18-24 years old said they were interested in receiving text message reminders from their doctors to take prescribed medicine. More than 31 million Americans make up that age group; consequently, that would mean 12 million consumers ages 18-24 years old are interested in receiving these reminders.

This claim is now supported by evidence from neuroscience: a unique pattern of neural oscillations — better known as <i>brain waves</i> — appears when people are text messaging.<br /><br />Researchers led by neurologist William Tatum at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, examined brain waves in electroencephalography (EEG) readings from 129 patients over 16 months. Their new study, published in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior, involved asking people to carry-out a variety of sensory-motor and cognitive tasks associated with communication.<br /><br />The researchers recorded EEGs as patients wrote text messages or performed finger and thumb movements without a smartphone. They were also monitored while making telephone calls and doing activities that require concentration, such as mental calculations and speech or language tasks.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2016/06/29/texting-brainwaves/#70d7b0794872" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2020</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2020</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 22 Jul 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Hotels Embrace Text Messaging</title> <description>Has your hotel been reaching out to you via text message? <br /><br />An article in USA Today notes that the texting trend is becoming more popular in the hotel space. <br /><br />Hotels are increasingly finding that the best way to talk to their hotel guests is to not actually talk to them—but to text with them<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelpulse.com/news/hotels-and-resorts/hotels-embrace-text-messaging.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2019</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2019</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 20 Jul 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Bastille Day killer sent creepy final text message</title> <description>Anti-terror police found the message on Bouhlels phone after he mowed down 84 people celebrating Bastille Day in southern France, the Nice Matin newspaper reported on Sunday.<br /><br />The message was sent at 10:27 p.m. just a few minutes before Bouhlel floored it, running over dozens of innocent victims enjoying their evening on the Promenade des Anglais, according to the newspaper.<br /><br />It was not immediately clear who received Bouhlel’s foreboding text, but it suggested he had help in carrying out last week’s shocking terror attack on Frances independence day.<br /><br /><a href="http://nypost.com/2016/07/17/bastille-day-killer-sent-creepy-final-text-message/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#2018</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">2018</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Has Text Messaging Changed Real Estate?</title> <description>The further we implement text messaging in our lives, the further its impact reaches.

While this has certainly led to societal transformations, it has also exacerbated the gap between new technologies and old, often defective systems. Much of sub-Saharan Africa continues to be plagued by poor access to electricity, sporadic Internet coverage, and weak governance—none of which is promising for the development of the latest technologies.

So how can we ensure this does not happen?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.econotimes.com/Text-message-medication-reminders-can-save-the-lives-of-those-with-chronic-illness-183212" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1989</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1989</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 2 May 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>New Research Suggests Text Messages Improve Election Day Turnout in the Developing World, With Conditions</title> <description>The spread of cell phones coupled with the ease and efficiency of text messaging helps people save, spend, and invest their money more wisely.

Over the next three years, Kristina Phillips and Michael Phillips, professors of psychology, and Trent Lalonde, a professor of applied statistics and research methods, will study 150 UNC students who use marijuana. <br /><br />According to Kristina Phillips, the application process for the study was extensive. The main component of the application was writing a proposal based on scientific research. This included reviewing past research on the topic, what gaps there may be in the current literature and considerations about how the study would attend to those gaps. They also had to discuss data that they had already collected on the topic. <br /><br />The Phillips and Lalonde have hypothesized that the more cravings students have for marijuana, the more they will use it—impacting their focus and academic work. Kristina Phillips explained that there has been almost no prior research on the consequences of heavy marijuana use in relation to academics, even though a number of studies on adolescents have shown there to be an inverse relationship between the two. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.uncmirror.com/news/view.php/1019003/Marijuana-study-to-utilize-text-messagin" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1980</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1980</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 11 Apr 2016 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Can Text Messaging Boost Prenatal Care?</title> <description>Anyone who has been up close and personal with pregnancy, be it their own or a family members, friends, or partners, knows that it's a lot to keep track of.

And yet, likely due to the lack of attention placed on sports at the recreational level, injuries in community level sports garner little attention. More importantly, injuries from recreational sports often go unreported, creating a large gap in the store of information available on sports-related injuries.<br /><br />This may not seem like a significant issue, but it represents a large problem for the field of sports medicine research. Researchers lack information on a large proportion of participants in sports, skewing the tendencies of their data towards more elite levels of sports participation, which may produce different figures.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/is-sms-the-future-of-sports-medicine.htm" target="_blank" >Texting Wounds: Is SMS the Future of Sports Medicine Research?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1910</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1910</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2015 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Latest NotePage News</title> <description> <![CDATA[Welcome to NotePage news.

A huge majority of 88% of American voters own cell phones, 27% of whom have used their devices for politics-related purposes. While it is clear that the relationship between cell phones and politics has grown to be significant, it is less immediately evident what, exactly, the new role of cell phones in politics is.<br /><br />One major component of the role of mobile devices in politics is their effect on the spread of information. Cell phones, especially smart phones, afford their users faster, easier, and more frequent access to information, making them less likely to miss updates on campaigns and political events and issues. The convenient and quick access that smart phones afford their users may also encourage smart phone-owning voters to be more active in following political news than they would if they did not use smart phones.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/new-role-of-cell-phone-in-politics.htm" target="_blank" >Role of Cell Phone in Politics</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1861</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1861</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2015 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Message Can Crash Skype</title> <description>A new bug appears to crash Skype when a short string of text is sent as a message across the service — and the effects are so bad that it requires a reinstall to get things working hitch-free again.<br /><br /><a href="http://gizmodo.com/a-simple-message-can-crash-skype-so-badly-you-need-to-r-1708662340" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1860</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1860</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2015 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Recovering from iPhone Crash</title> <description>Have you heard about the nasty new iPhone prank that’s going around?

However, The Huffington Post reports that text messaging may indeed alter the brain.<br /><br />A study indicates that text messaging on a touch screen could change the sensory-processing area of the brain. Arko Ghosh, neuroscientist at University of Zurich said that cell phones, smartphones in particular, offer a chance to see how daily life shapes the brain.<br /><br />The brain receives signals from the body. It turns out that when a part of the body is used often, such as fingers from text messaging, it can adapt and become more sensitive.<br /><br />The goal of the study was to determine if frequent text messaging can cause changes in the somatosensory cortex. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/is-text-messaging-changing-your-brain" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1820</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1820</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 11 Mar 2015 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Verizon Conversion from TAP to SMTP</title> <description>SMTP configurations vary from network to network.

For a recent anniversary, Alice Zhao analyzed all the texts she and her husband had ever sent each other, from the first flirty days of dating to their current status as newlyweds.

One issue that has given many courts pause is the applicability to text messages of the so-called best-evidence rule.

PageGate is a complete wireless messaging and SMS solution that incorporates a wide variety of messaging protocols for sending messages to mobile phones, wireless devices, fax machines, and pagers.<br /><br />PageGate allows alerts to be sent instantly to wireless devices in any location. PageGate supports both group messaging and preprogrammed alerts, so that the press of a button can send a notification to or schedule a notification for a defined group of individuals. The new version of PageGate is more powerful and efficient than ever.<br /><br />PageGate version 7 offers a new, intelligent load-balancing module. This feature enables round robin support and failover support, and supports up to four PageGate servers.<br /><br />The update also features a brand new, powerful message templating system. This upgrade affords administrators total control over the manner in which outgoing messages are formatted. Templates can also be set at multiple levels, minimizing the number of templates needed. When upgrading from a previous version of PageGate, templates are automatically created.<br /><br />The new version of PageGate also offers priority settings for recipients and carriers. The administrator may not move messages to certain recipients or carriers to the front of the delivery queue.<br /><br />Additionally, PageGate now supports STMP SSL TLS and STARTTLS for SMTP connections, making it better able to support secure and encrypted connections for message delivery. PageGate also now features a carrier level default domain for the SMTP protocol, an addition that saves administrators time when setting up new recipients, and even more time when switching recipients to a new carrier. SMTP relay servers may also be set on a by-carrier basis, allowing multiple outgoing maths for different SMTP carriers.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/press-release-pagegate-v7.htm" target="_blank">PageGate Version 7 Release</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1763</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1763</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Smart Phones Have Changed the World</title> <description>With the ongoing move of smart phones towards near-ubiquity, much of society has come to take these do-all devices for granted.

If you wish to transfer information from the old device to your new phone, simply do so before clearing the old one.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/how-to-dispose-of-cell-phones.htm" target="_blank" >How to Dispose of an Old Cell Phone</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1758</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1758</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Recover Deleted Texts on Android Phone</title> <description>If&nbsp;&nbsp;you have accidentally deleted some or all of your text messages by mistake, fret not! You can get them back with a 99% chance of success, but there' is one ingredient that is most important: time! If you have deleted your SMS inbox you have to act quick, because while the messages are recoverable until the portion of memory on which they are saved is rewritten, the longer you wait the higher the likelihood of getting new text messages, app updates or who-knows-what saved to the same location, obliterating them forever.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-recover-deleted-text-messages" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1757</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1757</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 24 Jul 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Could Texting Improve Parenting?</title> <description>If you received a text message reminding you to read to your baby or suggesting a game to play with your toddler, might it help to better prepare your child for school?

This is due to an old bug in Apples iMessage service. The problem is caused by the way Apples iMessage has been developed. It is a separate messaging system unlike any other SMS app and Apple uses end-to-end encryption, which means it is totally secure. When a user signs up for iMessage, their number is stored in a separate database that is accessed when another iDevice wants to ping them with a message. So your contacts device knows the other person is using iMessage and does not send an SMS but an iMessage IM. For numbers not in the database, an SMS is sent, which would entail carrier charges.<br /> <br />However, the problem arises when switching to another device. When your contacts with iMessage send you a message, it keeps looking for your Apple device ID, as it had been registered in the past. So it keeps trying to send you an iMessage IM instead of an SMS. The SMS is never delivered and naturally, the iMessage is not either.<br /><br />This has led to a new class action lawsuit in Federal District initiated by Adrienne Moore who switched from an iPhone to a new Samsung Galaxy S5. Moores suit sought class action status for all users who may be in a similar situation, which could end up running into thousands of potential <i>victims</i>. It asks for Apple to fix iMessage so that users can exit the ecosystem without any issues and has asked for punitive damages to the affected class members.<br /><br /><a href="http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/apple-sued-for-faulty-imessage-sms-flaw-affects-users-whove-switched-to-android-224034.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1734</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1734</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>SNPP, TAP, WCTP Recipients Setup</title> <description>Step by step video tutorial for <a href="https://www.notepage.net/videos/pagegate-snpp-tap-wctp-recipients.htm" target="_blank" >setting up SNPP, TAP, and WCTP Recipients</a>.</description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1733</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1733</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Huge List of SNPP Settings</title> <description>Huge list of <a href="https://www.notepage.net/snpp.htm" target="_blank" >settings for SNPP Carriers</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1732</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1732</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Step by Step Setting Up an SNPP Carrier</title> <description>Video tutorial that explains how to <a href="https://www.notepage.net/videos/pagegate-snpp-carrier-setup.htm" target="_blank" >setup an SNPP Carrier in PageGate</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1731</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1731</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2014 09:26:20 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>A New Role for Text Messaging</title> <description>A Maryland group home that received state funding closed last week, its workers notified via text message.<br /><br />The Temple Hills group home closed about a week ago.

Enough for a down payment on a house.</i> Each of those 90 characters ended up having a price tag of roughly $600.<br /><br />New York state law usually sides with men, giving them the right to demand back an engagement ring if a wedding never takes place. But the man’s text message using the term <i>parting ring</i> seemed to indicate that his former fiancee was entitled to keep the 2.97-carat diamond ring.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/tech/a-careless-text-message-cost-one-man-53-000-after-82309003353.html" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1722</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1722</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 13 May 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Buffalo Bills Paying for Over Texting</title> <description>A couple years back, Bills fans signed up to receive text messages featuring news and offers from the team.

To forget the pervasiveness of cell phones, and the ease with which we can tell each other things, is a crime.<br /><br />But cell phones and digital messages have managed to worm their way into the storytelling in movies and TV despite a supposed natural ineptitude at stirring up drama. A text message is dispassionate, free of emotion and all too open to interpretation, according to some literature on the importance of, say, tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. But TV shows and movies have managed to integrate these dispassionate messages to logistical and, surprisingly, emotional effect, reflecting the significance that messaging has gained for us over the years.<br /><br /><a href="http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/02/the-pathos-of-the-text-message/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1707</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1707</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 9 Apr 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>College Program for High Schoolers Brought To Life with Text Messaging</title> <description>To say a text-messaging program between high school students and four colleges and universities in West Virginia is working would be an understatement.<br /><br />The College Foundation of West Virginia&nbsp;&nbsp;began a three-year pilot project in January that utilizes text-messaging to promote college access and support student success for a high school senior through his or her freshmen year.<br /><br /><a href="http://wvmetronews.com/2014/03/21/text-messaging-program-involving-high-school-seniors-has-caught-on-quickly/" target="_blank" >complete article</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1706</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1706</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 8 Apr 2014 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Message Sends Cash Flying</title> <description>A group of enterprising cybercriminals have figured out how to get cash from a certain type of ATM by text message.<br /><br />The latest development was spotted by security vendor Symantec, which has periodically written about a type of malicious software it calls <i>Ploutus</i> that first appeared in Mexico.<br /><br />The malware is engineered to plunder a certain type of standalone ATM, which Symantec has not identified.

In other words, literally throwing money down the toilet.<br /><br />We were constantly trying to find new ways to make and save money. My roommate and I both had jobs at the phonathon on campus where we spent hours in a windowless basement doing data entry, calling alumni during their dinner hour and addressing and stamping hundreds of letters each day.

You may also be unsurprised to learn that the vast majority of texts are sent by teenagers under eighteen, and that the average teen from this group sends over 3,300 texts each month.

In a sign of just how mainstream texting has become, older adults now make up the fastest-growing new population of texters, according to the Pew Internet & Life Project.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, given this adoption by adults, texting is now steadily making its way into the workplace. With the increase in BYOD and BYOA (Bring your own App) redefining office environments, texting has become a staple of day-to-day communication between colleagues and even customers.<br /><br />But what comes next? Well, predictions are always fun, but inherently dangerous —for instance, who is actually driving the Jetsons hovercraft <i>car of the future </i>that was promised all those years ago? With that caveat, I am going to offer some predictions that will be grounded in actual marketplace events and trends, along with a sneak peak at some proprietary data that my company, HeyWire Business, will release in January. The focus of these predictions is the continued emergence of mobile communications in the workplace and the evolving expectations of employees and customers who continue to embrace this technology.<br /><br /><a href="http://customerthink.com/2014-the-year-of-text-messaging-in-the-enterprise/" target="_blank">complete article</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1678</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1678</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 5 Feb 2014 09:09:00 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Read the Latest NotePage News</title> <description> <![CDATA[Welcome to NotePage news.

While numbers are not everything when it comes to communities, there are several tricks that can increase the number of subscribers to your forum. However, it is important to note that a large number of members does not determine the success of a community; a smaller number of active and interested members can often result in a very successful online community.<br /><a href="http://www.small-business-software.net/building-a-successful-community.htm" target="_blank">http://www.small-business-software.net/building-a-successful-community.htm</a><br /><br /><b>Develop Content Worth Linking To</b><br />All webmasters have heard the adage, <i>content is king</i>. However, the struggle to discern what types of content to develop is one that webmasters have yet to conquer. If you are familiar with this dilemma, you should know that Googles latest algorithm changes cause Google to assess how visitors interact with a website. This data from a visitors experience is now used in organic search ranking. Therefore, you must create content that visitors will not only click on, but that they will spend time reading and even return to.

But little is known about injuries at that level.<br /><br />What's more, injury prevention strategies that work at the elite level are not necessarily relevant to recreational leagues - which have different types of players, different training loads and a different style of play, according to the studys lead author.<br /><br />They recruited 139 football players from four Australian community clubs at the beginning of the 2012 season. The researchers sent texts to players a day or two after each weekly match, asking if the player had suffered any new injuries. If he responded yes, the researchers called him and recorded the details of the injury.<br /><br />During the 18-week season, the researchers sent out 2,516 text messages. A total of 171 injuries were reported by 92 football players.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/01/23/text-messaging-effective-in-tracking-recreational-sports-injuries/" target="_blank">complete article</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1672</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1672</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 27 Jan 2014 09:00:02 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Kiev Protest Text Message</title> <description> <![CDATA[As my colleague Andrew Kramer reported, protesters and journalists standing in the vicinity of fighting between the riot police and demonstrators in Kiev on Tuesday received an ominous text message on their phones: <i>Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.</i><br /><i></i><br />While it was unsigned, and local phone companies denied sending it, the text message — which echoed language in a new law making it a crime to participate in protests deemed violent — was widely read as a warning from the government.<br /><br />Although it is unclear exactly what impact the message had on the stalwart protesters standing in the cold, the we-are-watching-you subtext provoked shivers far beyond Ukraine as news of it spread online.<br /><br /><a href="thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/22/ominous-text-message-sent-to-protesters-in-kiev-sends-chills-around-the-internet/" target="_blank">complete article</a>]]> </description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/blog.htm#1671</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">1671</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 26 Jan 2014 11:02:50 -0500</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Text Messaging with Vodka</title> <description>Some cities are installing texting zones on the sides of highways to provide a place for safe texting.
