Thanks for the information. It was a different phone number from
the one printed on the pager, which turned out to be the PIN.

I put an entry like this in etc/pagermap...
where NNNNNNN is the service provider phone number, and nnnnnnn
is the PIN number. He can now do this...
$ sendpage -q -p word 9999999
to send the numeric message 9999999 to his pager.
