Brian -

Didn't you get an error message when you tried it, which was
     ID(s):  0959950751 (No alphanumeric pager)    ?

What this is telling you is that the code considers the "#" to be an
alphanumeric  symbol and not a strictly numeric one, while the method you have
for invoking nvpage is the direct-dial, numeric-only method.  The direct-dial
method restricts you to sending only the same characters you can use when you
dial a number (which do not include the "#" or the "*"), so off-hand I don't see
how the current code can support what you want to do.  Whether it should be that
way, I don't know, but that is clearly how the code was designed originally.

I don't know if any of the other nvpage configurations can help you out.  It
depends on what your paging service supports.

Subject:  How to dial # sign with nvpage ?




Dear all
when I use nvpager function with following command:

nvpage 0959950751 1234        It is ok!
nvpage 0959950751 #1234#     I can't page !

Because in my country. the messages need to put the # sign, or my pager
can't display the message correctly.
I want to know how to dial # sign in this paging mode.




Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
