Service Fees
Printed Mailed Statement Fee
The majority of our customers choose to save time, save a stamp and receive their pager service renewal bills via email and conveniently pay online via credit/debit card directly through our emailed invoice or website or use their own online bill pay service that sends us either an electronic check or a mailed check. Automatic payments are also an option.
For our customers that choose to receive their statements printed and sent via US Mail, we will be happy to do so for $1.20 per statement cycle. If you pay once a year, that's $1.20/year. If you pay Quarterly (4 times per year) that would be $1.20 four times per year. This fee covers our cost for postage, printing, envelopes, payment return envelopes, paper, folding, inserting and sealing which is not required when we send bills via email.
Reconnection Fee / Activation Fees
PagersDirect waives the activation fee for pagers purchased from our website with new prepaid service. If activating your own pager purchased elsewhere or reactivating a pager purchased from PagersDirect which was previously disconnected, there is a $10 fee.
Rates valid on online orders only.
Rate plans and promotions at dealers may vary. Consult PagersDirect for special group rates and association discounts.
Ask about our low price match policy.
Regular priced Local Numeric Service includes unlimited monthly page allowance on local frequencies, maintenance plan which covers pager due to normal wear and tear but not due to negligence, loss or theft, loss or damage.
5000 pages per month allowance averages out to over 160 pages a day every day of the month or 10 pages per hour for 16 hours straight. 99.9% of our paging customers receive less than 500 pages per month. If you are one of the few customers that approaches or goes over the limit, your pager service may be terminated by the paging carrier and will be charged .25 per page over 5000.
