Email to Pager Instructions
 
 

Overview/Description of Service

Telcom offers an Email-to-pager gateway which allows you to quickly send a text message to one or more pagers via e-mail. To use this service, you need to know the user id of the person you are paging and you should try to keep your message brief (no more than 110 characters).
 
 

Instructions for Sending Email to Single Pager (Option 1):

  1. On the "To" line, address the email to mtupage@mtu.edu

  2. As the "Subject:" of the message, type in the recipient's user id.

    Example:
    Subject: jpsmith

    In the body of the Email, type in the message that you want to appear on the pager.Although the paging software will automatically break up a long message into multiple pages, it is recommended that you keep your message brief -- such as 110 characters in length.

Instructions for Sending Email to Single Pager (Option 2):

  1. On the "To" line, address the mail to: mtupage+userid1@mtu.edu (where userid1 is the recipient's user id).

    Example:
    To... mtupage+jpsmith@mtu.edu

    This feature allows mailreader address-book entries for specific pagers

  2. In the body of the Email, type in the message that you want to appear on the pager. Although the paging software will automatically break up a long message into multiple pages, it is recommended that you keep your message brief -- such as 110 characters in length.
