If this info exists on the site, I can't find it. I have teminated my contract with ADT and am trying to set up my Safewatch 2000 (Vista 20se) to dial my Verizon cell phone, and leave a numeric page.

Thanks to the great info on this site I have deleted the primary number (*41) and put my cell number in the secondary number (*42), and set the split/dual mode (*49) to 6. The panel is calling my cell number, which is great as long as I have my cell on, but it will not leave a page. In order to go into paging, it needs to dial 5 when it reaches voice mail. I tried putting all fives in the primary subscriber field (*43), but that does not seem to work. Then I stumbled upon a programming field that is not listed in any of the manuals or programming guides (*88, Paging Characters). I did find a reference to this in the Ademco Lynxr manual, but it uses it as a prefix to a 7 digit page (unlike the 10 digit page of the 20se).

When I hit *88 my keypad says "paging chars", and allows me to input up to 16, including pauses and * and #, so I can definitely use this to get into my paging system, but is there any special code I need so that these characters will be sent, do I need to delete my subscriber ID? If this field can be used, this may be helpful to others who are trying to page with the 20se.
