I don't get it... 662 was a prefix in vegas that would turn off your phone for about 30 minutes. So, if someone tried dialing 662-3567 their phone would just stop working after they dialed 662. pretty funny stuff actually. -=RPM Games=- |

So what kind of deal can you swing? The only reason I got it was so I can get equipment and time dirt cheap. I am going to offer my customers a "website pager" which will have my company logo on it and will serve to notify them when people do certain things at their website (such as request more info for a home or do a certain search or la la la). Essentially, the concept is to bring the realtor's website into the real world so they can carry a piece of it on their hip (and in the process advertise my company). Realtor A: Hey joe what is all that shit on your belt? Realtor B: Well, this is my cell phone, here is my pager, and this is my website pager. Realtor A: What the hell is a website pager? |

on Friday February 22, 2002 @ 08:33am>> [ reply ][ rating +0 ] The ENTIRE company? Yikes. How big was this joint? In a smallish city like Vegas you could theoretically run a pager company with half a 19" rack of boxes and an antenna on top of a decently tall building. Of course, any DECENT pager company will have multiple antenna sites around the city. When one of the big nationwide pager nets has a "weak spot", they find a building near the center of it that'll lease them a couple square yards of roof space. Then they send a guy out with a transmit/receive satellite dish, an antenna about four feet tall, and a weatherproof box about the size of a bar fridge. Plug in the box, align the dish, and press the "go button" and you're up. Pager systems are practically a nothing nowadays in terms of technological difficulty. |
