Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Marie, I'm late seeing this. I was at Best Buy today and noticed they don't have Weblink now, it's Arch (I'm in Dallas). When I got my pager there 2 mos ago it was WL. Guess they switch it out now and then? My Radio Shack ad still shows they use Weblink. You can get just as good a deal on the web, from what I've seen you probably shouldn't pay more than $99 (after the rebate). I suggest you scout around the web and see which companies are available there. There's usually a place to put in your zip to see. (send me yours and I'll help!) You might try Weblink: http://www.weblinkwireless.com/index.html On the left side you'll see " coverage " and you can check that with your zip. My plan is 19.99. I get 400 messages a month that can be up to 100 characters each. It's been plenty so far, if I upgrade to the 29.99 plan I get 2000 messages. Way more than enough. No, it's not a sub for a cell but I don't see the reason to even compare the two. Ok I'm looking at the " where to buy " section, they're selling the pager for $99 and you don't have to fool with a rebate. Let me know if you have questions, so far I'm pretty happy with mine. You can also check Skytel: http://www.skytel.com/ They are selling the pager online for $199.95 then you wait for your $80 rebate. Ok, I'm now at http://www.archwireless.com/ They want $179.95 and I don't see a rebate offered. That's too high! The monthly fees look about the same as the others. I think I saw the brochure you have and it's kind of confusing, but this web page has rates and they're not too bad (not the same as what you mentioned). Let me know if I can help you! Good luck~ See you in Vegas! Carla (leaving for Phx in lil over a week and HANNIBAL is showing there in open caption!) " Dr Lecter! Dr Lecter!

I am going in circles! Went to Best Buy, where their price was the same as Radio Shack; and I thought they were discount! Then they used to have Weblink service, but now they have Arch. The brochure from ARch looked really expensive, the cheapest being $19 and that was only 14- 55 characters messages per month!! Then I went to our local Radio Shack, and he tells me that he does not sell the T900 because we are in a dead zone, and can't received! I THOUGHT he said they used Pagelink, but you know how it is when you're deaf, I could have that wrong! THEN I come home and get a flyer for Radio Shack, $99 special, and it says it has weblink!--One thing I did find out tho, na's sister said, like na, it is NOT a substitute for the cell phone; cuts down on cell phone usage, well that would be pretty difficult for me, as I never use the cell phone--too complicated for Polish people!

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 Well I went to the local RAdio Shack, and the guy said he is not selling the T900 because we are in a " dead zone " (even tho I am only 35 mi from Pgh) and do not have coverage; I also noticed that at Best Buy they changed to ARch; Their price was $179, same as Radio Shack; I asked the salesperson, I thought you were discount; he gave me some song and dance about the manufacturer not willing to go any lowers, etc. Anyhow now Radio Shack has come out with $99 one, but like I said, the guy local said there is no coverage here; however that maybe before they switiched to ARch. I have talked to na's sister, who works for Arch. She said they are having a special $199, buy one get one free (but like I have no use for two), then I think it was about $25.95 per month. I am about thinking mayabe I am going to pass on a T900; who do I keep in contact with? I mean it is different if you have husband/kids, etc. But unless I get a dog who can use a pager, my Mom is clueless with electronics, and still has a rotary phone which will not mesh; I have both a text and numberic pager, so I could always just get service again. I discontinued it when I got a phone that virbrates, thinking I would wear the phone. But the phone is a pain, too clunky and easy to lose, so I do not wear it and never use it. BUT you need it in case of emergency!! See you soon! Marie (and maybe next year we can go sky diving) T900 for Marie >Marie, I'm late seeing this.
