The message was a simple one, "Merry Christmas" and it was sent to Richard Jarvis, a director at Vodafone. Richard Jarvis received the message on a Husky Orbitel 901 cell phone. The phone at that time weighed 4.5 lbs. The message was not sent from another cell phone, but from a computer.<br /><br />It is probably difficult for the current generation to imagine a world without texting. However, like many new technologies initial adoption for text messaging was slow. This was due in part to technology limitations. Initially SMS messages had to be kept very short, only 160 characters could be sent in each message. Additionally, messages could not be sent across networks (to other providers), there were also hardware limitations to cell phones. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/when-was-the-first-text-message-sent.htm" target="_blank" >When Was the First Text Message Sent?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/when-was-the-first-text-message-sent.htm</link> <pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:31:11 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>When Was the Cell Phone Invented?</title> <description>Known by the moniker cellular phone, mobile phone, car phone, cellphone, portable telephone, mobile device, smartphones, smart phones, or cellular device, a cell phone is simply a portable device that can make and recieve phone call over a radio frequency while the consumer is in the telephone service area. <br /><br />Most milennials have difficulty recalling&nbsp;&nbsp;a time when cell phones were not common place.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is safe to say, in the modern western world almost all adults, teenagers and&nbsp;&nbsp;many adolescent children have personal cell phones.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/when-was-the-cell-phone-invented.htm" target="_blank" >When Was the Cell Phone Invented?</a></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/learning-center/when-was-the-cell-phone-invented.htm</link> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2020 16:30:28 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How to Destroy Old Cell Phones</title> <description>Cell phones cannot just be thrown away, they contain a number of harmful materials.

PageGate is a complete text messaging and SMS solution that incorporates a wide variety of messaging protocols for sending messages to cell phones, mobile devices, wireless devices, fax machines, email, and pagers.<br /><br />PageGate allows alerts to be sent instantly to any mobile device, in any location, at any time. PageGate is modular and scaleable. It can be incredibly powerful serving the needs of a multi-location business or agency or a simple setup can handle the day to day messaging communications of a small office.<br /><br />In today's "instantaneous" world, companies, schools and government agencies are challenged to manage and respond efficiently, and quickly to a variety of notifications, alerts, and alarms. PageGate focuses on improving and streamlining critical communications regardless of the business size and needs. The new version of PageGate has a number of new enhancements, which expand functionality and capabilities making PageGate a very powerful, efficient and yet affordable text messaging solution. <br /><br />One of the most compelling new features in PageGate version 8 is a new Filter Pack option. The PageGate Filter Pack is used in conjunction with the Command Line ASCII Interface, enabling PageGate to pass all messages through a customizable filter. With the Filter Pack clients can modify and conditionally modify any part of the messaging data. The Filter Pack can reassign who a message is delivered to based on words or phrases. It can modify the body of the message. It can modify the subject line. It can insert pre-determined text and as well as a variety of other changes. With PageGate's new filter pack, you can even poll information from web resources that provides XML content or a web APIs that can be polled for information. For example, PageGate can be configured to periodically poll the National Weather Service for weather in a specific area, the weather can then automatically be sent out as a text message to recipients or groups. <br /><br />The Filter Pack also support logic operations, allowing for variable output conditional on the content of the original message. In addition, the Filter Pack supports a powerful RegEx (regular expression) engine, opening the possibility of data extraction from just about any data file format.<br /><br />PageGate now also supports communicating with wireless hardware (i.e. modems, phones, routers, etc.) that support the AT Command Set as defined in the GSM specification. This includes the vast majority of cellular/mobile/wireless modems available today. An advantage to using this protocol is that only the recipient's cell phone number is required to send a text message. 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. <br />PageGate also supports a new NotePage Android SMS Gateway Application, the Android SMS Gateway Application allows for an android cell phone to simulate a wireless modem. <br /><br />Another enhancement to PageGate version 8 includes protocol support for sending messages via XMPP / Jabber. Messages can now be sent using XMPP a common instant messaging protocol. <br /><br />PageGate version 8 also has a new optional Serial2ASCII Interface that is a companion module for the Serial Port Interface. The Serial2ASCII Interface unlocks the ability to monitor additional physical or virtual serial (RS232) ports. Multiple Serial2ASCII modules can be run on the same computer as PageGate, enabling PageGate to simultaneously accept messages from multiple serial ports. <br /><br />PageGate version 8 has also been updated to support the newest operating systems including Windows Server 2016.<br /><br />Mass notification is frequently used by communities, college campuses, school districts, medical facilities, industrial facilities, commercial institutions, law enforcement agencies and military bases. PageGate's robust throughput and scalability allows for these type facilities and agencies to scale their implementation to meet their community needs.<br /><br />Pricing and Availability:<br />PageGate version 8 and its interfaces, and add-ons are available immediately. The cost of the PageGate is based upon the number of recipients that messages will be sent to. Prices for PageGate start at $200.00. Each of the interface modules and add-ons may be purchased separately.<br />PageGate requires Windows XP or newer (supports up to Server 2016), 1 Gb or better processor, 1 Gigabyte of available RAM and 100 Mb of free hard drive space, and an analog modem for dialup connections, serial cable for direct connections, mobile phone or wireless modem that supports the GSM AT command set for wireless connections, or a dedicated (always on) internet connection.<br /><br />For more information, visit the NotePage web site at <a href="https://www.notepage.net/pagegate.htm">https://www.notepage.net/pagegate.htm</a> You can download a trial version of PageGate from the same URL.

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.

But many eco-conscious businesses discover that they can actually save money and bring in new customers who specifically patronize companies that actively make an effort to be environmentally friendly. Many customers may even be willing to pay a bit more for a product or service from a company that is green.<br /><br />Many businesses already do things that are eco-friendly, not necessarily because they are sensitive to green living, but simply to save money. That does not, however, diminish the value of their green efforts. The trick for businesses is to be eco-friendly without compromising profitability. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.notepage.net/steps-businesses-can-take-to-go-green.htm" target="_blank" >Steps Businesses Can Take to Go Green</a><br /></description> <link>https://www.notepage.net/steps-businesses-can-take-to-go-green.htm</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.notepage.net/steps-businesses-can-take-to-go-green.htm</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Multifunction Messaging Server Updated</title> <description> <![CDATA[NotePage, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of <a href="https://www.notepage.net/pagegate.htm" target="_blank">PageGate version 5</a>.

If preferred this newsletter can also be viewed online at: <a href="https://www.notepage.net/newsletter-051106.htm" target="blank">https://www.notepage.net/newsletter-051106.htm</a> <br><br><b>Realtors and RSS </b><br><b><i>Reach Customers A New Way </i></b><br>A large number of NotePage customers are realtors so I thought I would share this article about how Realtors are using NotePage's other software to increase communication. Daily more and more Realtors are turning to RSS as a tool to market homes for sale. The growing RSS phenomenon in the realty market makes perfect sense. <br><br>Unlike email RSS feeds have a 100% delivery rate. In addition the costs involved in creating and managing an RSS feed are insignificant when compared to the print advertising Realtors spend on each week. Imagine the amount spent each week to promote various properties in circulars and weekly newspapers, compared to the costs associated with updating and managing an RSS feed. <br><a href="http://www.feedforall.com/realtors-use-rss.htm" target="blank">http://www.feedforall.com/realtors-use-rss.htm</a><br><br><b><i>NotePager Pro and PageGate Support Tips</i></b><br><b><i>Carrier Consolidation </i></b><br>Many carriers that have gone through buyouts in recent years are restructuring their SMS networks to take old terminals off-line and merge other host information. A good example of this would be USA Mobility, Arch, and Metrocall. USA Mobility bought out Arch who bought out Metrocall and, for a little while, it was a guessing game as to whose host information would actually get a message delivered to a device. Fortunately, USA Mobility has decided to start clearing things up a bit and most messages can now be delivered through their Arch hosts and terminals. <br><br><b><i>Group Loops</i></b><br>When setting up groups, try not to loop them. Let's say we have groups 1 and 2. Group 2 is in the member list of group 1. If Group 1 is in the member list of Group 2, it's going to cause a message loop that will cause issues unlike anything I've seen. I only mention this because it's something I've run into at least four times this month. <br><br><b><i>SMTP Settings </i></b><br>When attempting to configure SMTP based carriers and recipients, we may not have the absolute, up to date information posted on the website. If a carrier has changed their cell phone or pager domain, it may take a week or two, possibly longer, for us to find out and post the relevant changes. If a carrier's SMTP settings are in question, please contact the carrier for verification from them... and let us know about it so we can make the changes appropriate. <br><br><b><i>Zetron & PageGate</i></b><br>PageGate software supports a direct serial connection (TAP/TAPI) to a paging terminal (i.e. Zetron).
