JACKSON, Miss.-SkyTel Communications Inc. introduced a unified messaging service, called SkyTel Message Center, which notifies users on their two-way pagers when they receive voice mail, e-mail or faxes at their office or home, and gives them several response options.
When receiving an e-mail, SkyTel Message Customers will be notified of the sender, subject, number of characters and any attachments. Customers can then choose to read it on the pager, reply to it or redirect it to a different e-mail address or fax.
If a fax comes in, the service pages the user with the fax’s sender and number of pages, and the user can forward it to a default number, other number or an e-mail address. Finally, for voice mail, the caller’s name, number and attached “urgent” or “non-urgent” stamps will appear on the user’s pager.
The service is available nationwide to all SkyTel users with any PageWriter 2000 series device, the company said. Pricing information was not disclosed.
