You need to know not only the frequency but the pager coding system
(including CRC calculation), and the pager code number(s). The pager coding
could be a well defined one such as POCSAG (used fairly extensively in
display pagers etc) or any one of many proprietary ones.
You might have to spend a bit of time looking on the web for info. Step one
would be to get as much info from anything printed/stamped on the pagers
themselves.
I haven't been near pagers since about 1979 so things will have changed
somewhat. In those days we were setting up a pager for use with the early
POCSAG code (4 codes/pager - no display capability)but the actual pager code
number/encoding wasn't too hard. The CRC and error checking was the worst
part but this wouldn't bother you once you know what to send (We used a
lookup table for error detection). Data rate was 256bits/sec from memory
with a 14 bit(?) word. Each transmitted string consisted of a number of
frames - the pager number determined which frame was valid for which pager.
The data transmission was preceded with a preamble to get bit sync, then a
framing word to enable frame sync. Following this was the actual data frames
separated, I think, by frame words.

None of which may be any use at all. - Still it might help
