Send Wireless Text Messages Right From Your Own PC!
PageAbility Messenger is a full-featured wireless text message-dispatching program that allows you to easily compose and send text messages to any alphanumeric wireless device from the convenience of your own PC! No other wireless messaging product can match Messenger for speed, convenience and reliability.

Powerful Features, Increased Messaging Efficiency
Why use an old-fashioned paging terminal when anyone in your office can use a high-performance, high-volume wireless message dispatching program to send pages to any message-ready wireless device from the convenience of his or her own PC? PageAbility Messenger's unlimited Address Book allows you to instantly page any recipient with a single mouse click. The Group Paging feature allows you to set up any number of groups and send the same messages to multiple individuals with drag-and-drop ease. Speed Messages, Automatic Message-Breaking, Dialing Location Profiles, Carrier Database, Message Log, Flexible Reports and a host of other easy-to-use convenience features make Messenger the ideal single-user or corporate wireless message dispatching tool.

The World's Fastest Paging Dispatcher
When big business needs a page-dispatching program that packs a big punch, PageAbility Messenger will move a mountain of messages faster than anything else on the planet. Look under the hood and you'll find the exclusive advanced Mach-2 Messaging Engine™, capable of completing dial-up transmissions at more than twice the speed of it's closest competitor. Thanks to the high-performance Accelerated Transmission Processing™ and Message Queue Re-Sequencing™ technologies, your company can now transmit more than double the number of messages in a given time period. That's double-time when it comes to efficiency and productivity, but only half-time when it comes to costs.

Designed To Be A Back Seat Driver
You don't want your page-dispatching program to slow down your page dispatcher! That's why we designed Messenger to drive transmissions transparently in the background without interfering with your dispatchers work in the foreground. Although the program includes a full-status transmission window, the complete transmission process can be viewed in real-time on a single button on the Windows taskbar.

Self-Inclusive Multi-tasking
Many communication products limit access during transmission to functions that could cause conflicts and database corruption. But every function in PageAbility Messenger is fully accessible during the transmission process. You can even delete recipient and carrier records that are being utilized during the current transmission and messages will still make it to their destinations! Corporate paging dispatchers can work more productively during transmission periods, even when they need to work in Messenger itself.

The Total Wireless Messaging System
When you use Messenger with PageAbility SMCS Server, there's NO LIMIT to how many folks you can keep in the loop! Add Mail-Link, and PageAbility will keep everyone in your company wirelessly connected with cutting-edge technology to all of their important e-mail. Page dispatching, e-mail connectivity, speed, reliability . . . now that's a lean, mean Total Wireless Messaging machine.

Integrated Stand-alone Solutions
Although Messenger and Mail-Link can be run separately as stand-alone programs, they share the same important database records (contacts, carriers, groups) and preference settings to maximize efficiency. This design allows users to run Messenger for page dispatching without extra overhead, while providing a perfectly integrated solution when wireless e-mail connectivity is required.
