"Spark" (ex Telecom New Zealand) last week announced the end of their Analogue Paging Service by 31 March 2017. Most of our customers; Water Utilities & Power companies have already migrated to alternatives, like SMS modems or email to send Alarms to cellphones & smartphones. These newer services have the added benefit in that they allow the Alarm to be acknowledged from the phone, cancelling any Alarm escalation designed into their system. For alternatives please contact steve@abbey.co.nz . cell 021 434 782. For Spark's official announcement and pricing please see below.
