The pager/Phone/Vmail idea is great. (Can you say NEXTEL?)
My only comment is this. The college I work for has a building called the Moakley center. In this building is close to 300+ computers/1500 Network Jacks/ associated equipement all in close proximity to each other.
We have only found two pager services work in this building. (MoblieComm, and NeXtel) Basicly, we invited a bunch of pager suppliers to our building, and told them if they could get there pager to work in the center of this building, they could have the contract for our entire college.
I'm imagining that a first competition would pose many of same interference problems that we run into. We should have some way of assuring that the signal goes thru, maybe one of those pagers that has the confirmation. They keep trying to send the message till the pager signals back that it got the message. (completely automated) Nextel's have Vmail that is stored offlocation from the phone, so if it was out of service, it could still get it.
Just something to think of.
