# Introduction
`PGD` is a command introduced with [MSNP9](../versions/msnp9.md).

It is a Notification Server command, with a request payload.

It sends a text message to a mobile device/pager or Web Watch.
For the version of this command that doesn't support Web watches, read [PAG](pag.md).

Where `user-handle` is the target user for this page.

Where `device-type` is a number:
* 1: Mobile Device
