One thing I might note here is that at least some paging services have
both DTMF and TAP terminals, and as long as the "payload" of the TAP
block contains only digits (no alphabetic, special, or other
characters, with the possible exception of "-"), numeric pagers can
receive the message just fine. This is true of Arch in the Buffalo,
NY, USA area, and quite possibly everywhere Arch operates.
Also, many paging services, including Arch, have Web-to-pager and
email-to-pager gateways. For example, the one for my pager is
pager-number-including-areacode@epage.arch.com. Since some of these
send text (they extract the From: and Subject: lines from the email
message), they are unsuitable for number-only pagers. (You usually
get a page, but the screen is blank when you try to read the page.)
