Some of you guys know I have a pager. I pay for basic numeric service but I have always been able to use the internet paging service that’s supposed to be only for alphanumeric pager. Of course, it won’t work with letter, just numbers and dashes.

So by crafting a URL like this
http://207.245.224.97/PAGESCRIPT?pin=MYPagerNumber&message=YourNumericMessage
You can bypass the web form. But more importantly, you can bypass the connection issues MSN Messenger has been giving me lately and even reach me for the few minutes in a day when I’m not in front of a computer.

I also use this occasionally in a script triggered by a mail rule to be warned of a message by a special someone.
