Paging service

Not to rain on the IPN parade ! :lol: But BNN does cover more than just DC. Lots of Baltimore stuff, as well as Western Maryland, and Fairfax. You might want to check and see that your pager is set up to get everything it's supposed to be getting; if you are only getting DC, then you'll miss stuff for sure. BTW, I had IPN at one time, and have no issues with them; they catch stuff, and we catch stuff....but I'm biased for BNN, since I've been a member & pager for them since the early 90's.
Just my two cents! :wink:

Best Regards,
Jason/BNN124MDT, covering Western Maryland

Jason, you beat me to the punch...I was going to advise him of the same thing..All he has to do is call the office...I"ve been using the service since 1995 and have no complaints...Hope all is well with you

Can you give the web address or link for BNN?

Also consider www.mdfirenet.com - great service w/ much in the way of local info, broken up by regions of the state. I've had an "MFN" pager for nearly 10 years and have been very pleased.
