gsm sms seems like it might be a good choice...
GSM SMS only works when you are in, urm, GSM range. Many many parts of the world do not have GSM. Many parts of the US do not have GSM. And then if you want global access you will need a triband GSM phone. And intercountry GSM SMS is not currently very reliable - often loses or delays messages (record for me is 36 hrs). I'd recommend if you want pager, you look to something satellite based. -- Alex Bligh VP Core Network, Concentric Network Corporation (formerly GX Networks, Xara Networks)
