    Patent number: 5722084
    Abstract: The invention relates to a personal communicator which includes an electromagnetic antenna for receiving signals from a wide-area paging system coupled to a receiver for receiving a number assignment module from the antenna. The receiver delivers the number assignment module to a controller which programs the number assignment module into a memory element. The number assignment module is stored in the memory element. The controller retrieves the number assignment module from the memory element for use in communication with a cellsite which forms a part of a cellular communications system. Advantageously, the present invention permits remote programming of a personal communicator by a cellular service provider, eliminating the need for an authorized agent to manually program the personal communicator.
