is now available on your choice of two nationally operated paging companies: Metrocall and PageNet
 

All new orders for CFP service begin with our processing your request. You will save time and money by starting your request for service through us. This ensures you receive discounts due you as a member of CFP and ensures proper programming by the paging carrier. 

CFP membership is $5 per month, payable in six month ($30) or twelve month ($60) subscriptions. We accept checks, money orders, VISA and Master Card. Your account can be established by calling CFP at 919-791-0230 for credit card orders, or mail check or money order to:

CAROLINAS FIRE PAGE
3211 Kenly Court
Raleigh, NC 27607-3133

Be sure to advise us if you already have an existing account with either Metrocall or PageNet. This will enable you to keep your existing phone number. 

You will be billed separately by the paging company and by CFP.

The difference in the two paging carriers are detailed in the chart below.
