ABSTRACT:
A method of using a common carrier paging receiver carried by a vehicle user to alert the user of a vehicle security breach includes the steps of: providing a vehicle alarm transmitter at the vehicle for transmitting a vehicle security alarm signal compatible with common carrier paging signals; sensing for a breach of vehicle security using at least one vehicle security sensor; and transmitting the vehicle security alarm signal from the vehicle alarm transmitter responsive to a sensed breach of vehicle security. The method preferably further comprises the steps of: directly receiving the vehicle security alarm signal at the common carrier paging receiver from the vehicle alarm transmitter without using other portions of the common carrier paging network; and indicating a vehicle security breach to the vehicle user via the common carrier paging receiver responsive to receipt of the vehicle security alarm signal. Accordingly, the vehicle user can receive both common carrier paging signals and the vehicle security alarm signal using the common carrier paging receiver. In addition, the vehicle alarm security signal is transmitted and received without using any portion of the common carrier network, so that no common carrier resources are used or charges incurred. Apparatus aspects of the invention are also disclosed.
