Great - but how do I know if they will work *here* - are some better
than others in North/Mid-Wales - can I get one to try - to see if it
works - I'm a bit reluctant to sign up to contract if the thing turns
out to be useless.

Probably what i would need.

Yeh, great - could go for that - but will it work?

Thanks for your help and advice - but before I can progress I need to
know whether it will work - BT weren't interested in any trial deal last
time our PM contacted them.
Deals, contracts, options, special offerrs - I can have all these - but
can I have a pager that works?
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
