What is an OnPage ID?
An OnPage ID is a unique identifier used to receive and send pages within the OnPage system. OnPage IDs can belong to Contacts or Groups, allowing users to direct messages to individuals or entire teams efficiently.
Choosing an OnPage ID
- OnPage IDs must be at least five characters long.
- If you plan to receive pages via phone using the OnPage toll-free number, choose an all-numeric OnPage ID that is as short as possible. For example:
78191. - If you include alpha characters, keep them short and simple.
- Keep in mind: If someone needs to page you by phone, they will have to enter your OnPage ID using the corresponding letters on a dial pad.
Uniqueness of OnPage IDs
Each OnPage ID is unique across the system, ensuring that messages are always directed to the correct recipient or group.
How OnPage IDs Are Used
- For Contacts: Each OnPage user has a unique OnPage ID, which others use to send direct pages.
- For Groups: OnPage IDs can also be assigned to groups, enabling users to send a page to multiple recipients at once.
By carefully selecting your OnPage ID, you ensure quick and seamless communication within your team or organization.
