Pager Service Rate Plans

Metrotel offers flexible prepaid service terms for both numeric and alphanumeric pagers — the longer you prepay, the lower your monthly rate. All plans include unlimited wide-area paging up to a generous monthly allowance, so nearly every customer never has to think about overage charges. See state-by-state coverage maps before ordering to confirm reception in your area.

Numeric Pager Service

Term	Monthly Rate	Total Prepaid	Maintenance Plan
Monthly	$16.95/mo	Billed monthly	Not included
Quarterly (3 months)	$15.95/mo	$47.85 prepaid every 3 months	Included
Annual (12 months) — Free Pager Eligible	$14.95/mo	$179.40 prepaid once a year	Included
Biennial (24 months) — Free Pager Eligible	$13.95/mo	$334.80 prepaid once every two years	Included

All numeric plans include up to 5,000 pages per month — more than 160 pages a day, every day of the month. The vast majority of customers use well under 500 pages per month. Pages beyond the 5,000 monthly allowance are billed at $0.25 per page.

Alphanumeric (Text) Pager Service

Add $5.00/month to the numeric base rates above for alphanumeric service, which includes up to 5,000 messages per month delivered via pager phone number or email address. Maintenance plan included on all prepaid terms.

Term	Monthly Rate	Total Prepaid
Monthly	$21.95/mo	Billed monthly
Quarterly (3 months)	$20.95/mo	$62.85 prepaid every 3 months
Annual (12 months) — Free Pager Eligible	$19.95/mo	$239.40 prepaid once a year
Biennial (24 months) — Free Pager Eligible	$18.95/mo	$454.80 prepaid once every two years

Free Pager With Annual or Biennial Service

Choose a 12-month or 24-month prepaid plan on select pager models and the pager itself is free — you only pay for service. On shorter terms (like the 3-month plan), the pager's cost is added to your service total. See current free-pager-eligible models.

What's Included

Maintenance Plan (included on all 3, 12, and 24-month plans): if your pager fails under normal use during uninterrupted service, we'll repair or replace it at no additional charge. Excludes cosmetic, liquid, and physical damage. See our FAQ for full terms.
No-Fault Protection (optional add-on): for just $1.50/month additional per pager, a malfunctioning, lost, stolen, or damaged pager is replaced for half the regular replacement price, regardless of cause, up to 2 incidents per 12-month service period. Available only with uninterrupted service and must be selected at the time of your original order.
Voicemail: available as an add-on — see our FAQ for how to set up and use voicemail once activated on your account.
Spare Pager Option: order a spare pager alongside your primary one so your number can be moved to it instantly if your primary pager is ever lost, stolen, or damaged.

Business, Medical & Facility Discounts

Bulk discounts are applied automatically at checkout: save 5% on any online order totaling $500 or more, and 10% on any online order totaling $1,000 or more. Medical practices, assisted living facilities, colleges, and other organizations ordering multiple pagers regularly take advantage of this.

Reconnecting a Pager From Another Carrier

If you own a working pager from another paging provider that's been disconnected, we may be able to reconnect it under a new Metrotel plan, provided it's on a frequency our network supports. See how to reconnect or reactivate a pager for details, or contact us with your pager's frequency and cap code to confirm eligibility. Reconnect orders include a flat $10 activation fee added to the plan price.
