My wife and I both travel a lot, but separately, and we frequently
need to get in contact with the person who is out of town.

I recall seeing advertisements for beepers which would work either
everywhere in the US, in most major cities in the US, everywhere in
the northeast corridor, and so forth.  Ideal would be one that allowed
you to leave a numeric message, like a number to call back at.

Does anyone have any information on beepers of this type?  (Monthly
rates, difficulty of use, reliability, availability, cost-per-beep if
extra, and so forth.)  If you email to njs@ibm.com, I'll summarize.
