ABSTRACT:
A paging system with a number of central stations, each of which contains a number of pager apparatus associated with it. Each pager apparatus responds to one or more identifying numbers so that a caller may send a paging message to one or a number of pager apparatus, all of which respond to the same identifying number. The central station includes a profile of information for each pager apparatus associated with it. Paging information is comprised of various identification numbers to which the pager apparatus responds, as well as selected type of services. Pagers can additionally restrict receiving pagers from unwelcome callers, prioritize message, limit the number of received calls, and arrange for a transfer of their calls from one central station to another central station. Authorization can be required for a transaction. Means exist for billing for the processing and transmission of paging data on a per call basis. Verification of transmission or a transaction for billing purposes can be via a page or over the telephone network to the caller or to a third party.
