Summary

American Messaging Services L.L.C.

United States · AI-generated

enterprise legacy

The network of American Messaging Services (AMS-PAGING-VOIP), a wireless

messaging and paging carrier headquartered in Lewisville, Texas.

What it's used for

  • Carrying the company's own paging, wireless-messaging, and voice infrastructure, as the handle's PAGING-VOIP suffix suggests.
  • Announces a single /24 from 204.153.80.0/22, a block registered directly to the company.

Notable

  • Paging remains a real business in healthcare and public safety, where guaranteed simplex delivery still beats cellular data — this is one of the networks behind it.
  • The address footprint is tiny (256 IPv4 addresses) and the AS is a stub with a couple of upstreams: an operator's own infrastructure, not subscriber space.
