New York-City-based Child Watch of North America, an organization that seeks to recover abducted children, began offering prepaid alphanumeric pagers bearing the name FuMan Skeeto — the brand its national spokesperson, Chris Kirkpatrick of ‘N Sync, uses on a line of clothing. The pagers are the first in a line of prepaid communications products and services the nonprofit will offer to help parents stay in touch with their children. A portion of pager sales and re-charging fees will go to Child Watch programs. Users will also receive free pages from Kirkpatrick providing up-to-date information on his activities, concerts, and appearances, as well as Child Watch news. Vtech Connect Ltd., Wheeling, IL, MetroCall Inc., Alexandria, VA, and Shared Technologies Cellular, Wethersfield, CT, supply the technology.
