The format in which to put your message depends on the type of pager your message is going to. There is no way we can tell what that will be, so you may want to find that out before sending your message.
Numeric pagers will accept only numbers, and leave the "Name" field empty.
AlphaNumberic pagers will accept both letters and numbers. The limit on how many characters you can use depends on the pager's capabilities, but is usually 130 (though this service will accept up to 250 characters per message).
