    Abstract: A remote device (102) includes a silent alert allowing the device to signal the user of an incoming call without an audible alert. The device further includes a key (119) actuated by the user to accept the call into a nonactive state. A prerecorded message is generated from a memory (126) and played for the calling party to inform the caller that the user is occupied, but will answer the call shortly. According to one aspect of the invention, the message can be periodically repeated, until the user places the call in an active call state. According to another aspect of the invention, the user can interrupt the message and enter the active call state at any time during the silent answer and hold subroutine.
