One of the best things about Dinggly is having no requirement for extra hardware to receive calls (you can get them on your phone, computer or through other online systems). However there are some circumstances where an alternative notification is the preferred option – simple convenience and avoiding some issues associated with carrying mobiles (for example ownership, perception from customers and distractions).
Dinggly Pocket Pagers are wonderfully compact. They are Android based and come preinstalled/locked to the Dinggly app. They are dedicated to Dinggly and intuitive to use.
There is an optional belt clip.
The pocket pager makes an audible tone and vibrates when a call is received. We do not recommend the Pocket Pager if it will be used on silent / vibrate mode as the vibration (like that of a mobile phone) can be missed.
The four primary advantages of pocket pagers over wrist pagers are:
We have two forms of wrist pager. One connects directly to WiFi, the other connects via a gateway to WiFi. The advantage of the former is range whist the latter overcomes issues with WiFi black-spots and has a longer battery life. We’ll help you select which is best for you.
Smartwatch use, instead of wrist pagers, is a regular question. The difficulty with smartwatches is very few have WiFi built-in, so require tethering to a mobile phone (or work independently via a cellular SIM and are expensive). As such their functionality with Dinggly has been limited to receiving notifications for calls. Accepting them requires a phone.
Dinggly also has a stand-alone operating app for Apple Watch (we do not yet support other types of SmartWatch).
