     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed by Page America Group,
Inc., a New York corporation ("Page America") relating to the Common Stock
of Metrocall, Inc. (the "Company").  Terms defined in the original Schedule 13D
shall have the same meaning when used herein.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Page America owns 3,161,856 shares of Common Stock of the Company and 1,500
shares of Series B Junior Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred
Stock") of the Company. Beginning on each of September 1, 1997, December 1,
1997, March 1, 1998 and July 1, 1998, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock
have the right to convert up to 25% of such initially issued stock into that
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the stated value of the
Series B Preferred Stock (initially $10,000 per share) divided by the average of
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the ten trading days prior
to each conversion date. As the result of the foregoing, the Series B Preferred
Stock convertible on September 1, 1997, December 1, 1997 and March 1, 1998 is
convertible into an aggregate of 1,884,340 shares of Common Stock of the
Company.

     The Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock which is presently
convertible into common stock give Page America beneficial ownership of
5,046,196 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which constitute approximately
11.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     During the preceding 60 days, Page America sold the following shares
of Common Stock of the Company in brokerage transactions in open market
sales:
