When you dial a beeper number what do you do next?
In most cases, you have a choice of either leaving a voice message or a callback number. You leave a message like any other message machine. You can leave a callback number by simply dialing it after the pager answers. The pager will notify the owner that they've received a voice message, else it displays the callback number.

How to Practice Proper Pager Etiquette?
A pager should be there to alert you whenever there is a message or an important event you need to be reminded of; it should not be a source of irritation to the people around you. People with pagers often forget that its use should be limited to those occasions when they are really needed, and that proper etiquette should still be practiced when using these gadgets. Here are some tips to guide you in the proper use of pagers, to avoid discomfort to the people around you. Step 1: If you are planning to go somewhere that requires a quiet atmosphere, it would be better to leave your pager at home (unless you are expecting an emergency, or are waiting for an important message). Some examples of places and occasions where you should avoid bringing your pagers are churches, funeral services, movie theaters and plays. The shrill sound of the pager can be highly disruptive of the activities in the given places/occasions. Step 2: Whenever possible, change the setting of your pager alert to vibrate mode. This way, you can still be alerted when you get a message without bothering the people around you. Step 3: If you are waiting for an urgent message and you might need to go out on short notice, it is best if you sit close the exits, or at least near aisles, so you will disturb fewer people on your way out. Step 4: If you are out on a romantic date, as much as possible leave your pager at home; you might end up insulting your date if your pager constantly beeps. The messages would also disrupt the flow of your conversation. Step 5: You should determine the importance of a message so you will know when to drop everything and get on the phone, and when to leave the action for a few more hours. Knowing how to properly use a pager will go a long way on de-stressing your life; it would also do wonders to how you are seen by the people around you. You wouldn’t want people not wanting to invite you to events just because you are known to be the one whose pager is always beeping, would you?
What is a numeric message?
