ABSTRACT:
A dedicated paging system having single button paging, requiring only a single press of a dedicated button on a page base to automatically page a pager associated with the page base. Information associating the page base with the pager is stored in the page base and/or a database maintained by a paging service provider with which the paging system is registered. When the dedicated button on the page base is pressed, the page base automatically calls the paging service provider. The paging service provider strips the caller identification number from the incoming call, uses the number to look up the pager identification number stored in the database, and then uses the retrieved pager identification number to send a page signal to the pager. Additionally, the paging system is automatically registered with a single press of the button. When the button is pressed, the page base automatically calls a clearinghouse. The page base uploads a pager identification number to the clearinghouse, and the clearinghouse downloads a paging service provider access telephone number to a memory within the page base. The clearinghouse stores the pager identification number and the caller identification number of the telephone line the page base is using in the paging service provider database. Where possible, the clearinghouse also uses the caller identification number to automatically access billing information associated with the number and set up a billing account for the paging service.
