OT..do you know anything about the "ESPN Mobile" thing? Looks like a pricey monthly charge?

I had the ATS one awhile ago and what they advertise on their website and in their mailings is nothing like you get. The only thing that is similiar is the style of pager. The fees are way too much also. I switched to the one on EBAY with the one time fee and no monthly charges ever. I've had this one for a few years now and have had no problems.

What type of feeds do they sell on ebay?

Just go to Ebay and seach Sports Pagers. Right now I find 45 different auctions for Sports Pagers. I just have a cheapie from there that I got for like $70-80, but I would guess it does pretty much the same as the ones you see for $150 or so. You just have to take your time and compare the options the seller says the pager has. Mine updates about every 2 min or so, very happy with it.

I have an unlimited text plan and get my scores sent to me from scorerunner.com -- the service rocks and the updates are nice and fast.

great when you have 5-6 games you want to follow (you just pick your games and only get those scores).

Price is right too ($0)

I used to get unlimited free DJ Franks feeds 15 years ago, but need a new one now, what service do you guys suggest?

I think I have like 5 old SportsNow pagers in a box somewhere(most Motorola PageNet models)..I'd like two of them programmed..as I will probably spend a week in LV for March Madness.

Thanks!
