This simple guide describes the art of Numeric Pager Messages.  This is just a general guide. Since numbers can be interpreted many different ways, it varies greatly. This alphabet varies depending on who you talk to, but most of your pager reading friends will be able to understand this.  As a general rule, keep the messages simple.  I am not sure about some of them, so try to stay away from the numbers marked in red.

First of all, here is the numeric alphabet...

Here are few words which can best be described as slang, which might not fit the standard alphabet.
 

143  Love You Like A Friend
831  I Love You (8 letters, 3 words, 1 meaning)

Actually, the way this all started was a page I recieved about two weeks after I bought my pager.

48994-8-084-77-143

I had no idea what it meant, but I recalled my sister Maria knowing about these messages. I asked her about it and she wrote down the alphabet on a sheet of paper and gave it to me. It turned out the message was...

happy-b-day-77-love you like a friend

Thanks for contributing the page sis.
