Incident page network

Hey all, I know most of us who have scanned for a while know about IPN, they do text and pagers. I was just curious, does anyone know pager frequencies and cap codes that they use?

They just send a text to your phone or pager telephone number. Any pager or phone may be used.

Not entirely true. They do transmit pages over a commercial paging frequency using cap codes just like the alpha fire pagers in addition to sending messages through SMS to phones. The difference is companies like IPN use a commercial service and not a public safety frequency, which makes decoding it illegal if I recall.
