Voice Mail

We work in cooperation with Verizon and Cellular One's Pager Notification System. If you have voice mail through either of these telephone service providers, it is most likely it can be set up to page your Black Bear pager. Contact your local Verizon or Cellular One office for cost and detailed information on this service.

Our Refit Equipment Program

Customers that like their existing pager, yet would like to utilize the services provided by Black Bear Paging Service, would benefit from our Refit Equipment Program. Customers will pay for their service plan, activation fee and refit costs. You can be provided with a loaner pager* during the time it takes to refit your pager. Most refits take approximately 6-8 weeks to complete.

*NOTE: Some pagers cannot be refit to our frequency. Loaner pagers are made available through our Loaner Rental Program for a nominal fee. If you have questions about our Refit Equipment or Loaner Rental Programs, call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-377-6216 or you may email us.
