You need a pagermap file. put an entry in like

.*              9846786/&

at the end of your pagermap, where 9846786 is the phonemumber for the
modem to dial, & is the placeholder for the pinnumber U specify in
sendpage. This is my pagermap file:

yut             9846786/1919286
siriporn        9846786/1919289
apinya          9846786/1919269
rungrawe        9846786/1919372
chanarat        9846786/4414502
darin           9846786/1919019
pvimutka        9846786/1919029
sopawan         9846786/1919287
charoon         9846786/1919277
sinee           9846786/6341618
sopida          9846786/4414325
vip029          9846786/1919966
.*              9846786/&
# Hutchinson: phone: 162, protocol
# Easycall:   phone: 1500, protocol
# PhoneLink:  phone: 152, protocol
# Paclink:    phone: 1144, protocol

then you say:

bash% sendpage -p 4711 "BlaBla"

to page the pager with the pin 4711
