[BBLISA] Emergency Pagers

[Brian O'Neill]

We still use pagers as well (USA Mobility or whatever they are called 
this week). I think we'd love to drop them, but we've still found SMS to 
be unreliable in terms of speed of delivery. Sometimes we'll still get 
the SMS hours later, and not for want of signal (the phone can have full 
signal, and not be moving for hours, and the message will come at 3am 
when it was sent at 6pm...)

I've been trying to talk the guy who pays for the cell phones to get me 
a Droid to see about a way to poll for critical messages from multiple 
sources...
