We used the exact same system for a year. We even went as far as programming 30 minute checkins for all our servers using a fdml call with PageSentry. This allowed us to know what the servers were doing when they were running. Unfortunately, our 'unlimited account with pagenet suddenly became unlimited, up to 500. Then we received a $3,600 bill for one month's service. Not only did they charge us outrageous rates for each page over 500 but broke each email/page into 4 pages of 50 characters.Truly unbelievable. Naturally we told them where to go and did not pay the 'bill', but it also meant the end of being truly in touch with our systems. MY advice to everyone thinking about email/page.... Unlimited doesn't always mean that and get it all in writing! Hope this helps someone. Alex Alexander J.
