How to Send a Text to an Apollo Pager

A useful application of most alphanumeric pagers, including the Apollo pager, is the ability to accept and read text messages.

These messages can be sent from computers or phones, and can be read easily on any Apollo pager.

Instructions

3. Click the "To:" field of the email application and enter the 10-digit number of the pager you are trying to reach.

4. After the pager number, type "@" followed by the name of the wireless provider of the Apollo you are texting. The address will look similar to this: [e-mail].

5. Click "Send" and your email will be sent to the Apollo pager as a text message.
