A Nextel phone must have a SIM card to work properly.
Sending a page to a Nextel user lets you get in touch with them even when they cannot answer their phone or read an email. Pages sent to Nextel phones are pushed through to the devices as text messages, and an audible message alert is played if the user's ringer is turned on. Before Sprint and Nextel merged, pages were available only to users with Nextel premium paging service. However, as of August 2010, paging is available to all Nextel users in addition to subscribers with iDEN series phones on the Boost Mobile network.
Instructions
1. Launch your email client, or log into a web-based email service. You can also send the email from another smartphone, provided it is synced with an email account.
2. Click the "Compose" or "New" button to start writing a new message.
3. Address the email to "number@page.nextel.com," where "number" is replaced with the 10-digit phone number of the Nextel subscriber. Note that the "number@page.nextel.com" format can also be used to page Boost Mobile users with iDEN series phones, as they also run on the Nextel national network.
4. Compose the message in your email client or web-based email system. If the page message is longer than 160 characters, it is broken up into multiple messages. Also, be sure to include return contact information in your page because Nextel pages are delivered without any return email address or phone number information.
5. Click the "Send" button in your email message to forward the page to a Nextel or Boost Mobile user.
